I am interested in the technical comparisons between mysql and postgresql. but there is a more practical concern for a person like me rather new to the database world. How easy are both to set up and to configure? How intuitive are they? How good is the available documentation? And how many developers are out there who would be willing to answer each other's questions? How many forums exist for troubleshooting? I would love to go full hog in with postgresql, but i've been more impressed with the usability and documentation for mysql. That's the main reason i'm leaning with that. Another thing concerns the number of virtual hosting services that support postgresql. i've only been able to find one or two that can support. Please someone correct any misimpressions I had!!!
