I beleive licensing is also an issue (for the latest mysql anyway)
also i beeleive mysql is a very "no frills" SQL server.
It does basic SQL, fast, and on low end hardware.
I cant see why accessing postresql with php would be alot different than
with mysql
Not having much experience with php, i would say (like perl) its just a
matter of
using a different driver. There is likely some minor differences, but
SQL as a language
makes things fairly portable.
