Can anyone comment on Admin Work Postgres versus MySQL?
I'm partial to adminning MySQL due to the better dump/recovery/fix tools, but Postgres has pretty well caught up in that area now. It's come down to which one you're more comfortable with recently, with MySQL getting transactions and Postgres getting toosl that don't suck so bad.
Can you investigate which connects easier to the Mac?
Both will run on OS X - grab the fink distribution (fink.sourceforge.net, IIRC) and install either one. I guess that's what was being asked? I'm running on an OS X box a live mirror of our main MySQL server, and it works very well. --Danny
