PostgreSQL, MySQL, mSQL, ect.
Hello all,
For a project that I am working on, I would like to use a SQL database. On my home computer, I have PostgreSQL installed because It came with my installation of RedHat. However on my ISP's computer they have MySQL. If I develop a perl script for Postgres, it it easy to transfer over to MySQL. Or sould i just try to get a copy of MySQL to comply on my PPC?
Thanks,
Jimz

Well, most SQL databases are essentially the same, which I guess is the whole point, however as far as I can see they do differ in little ways. If it was *me*, I would head on over to mysql.com and download a copy of MySQL. It's free anyway...

Usually if you are running a current redhat, you can just download the RPM's.

Look again my friend:

Right there under your nose:

Standard binary RPMs for 3.22
