Thanks for the clarification. I've noticed a lot of that in this thread: people started with MySQL, and now they have a serious code base dependent upon it. That is a tough problem to solve. Sorry.

phppgadmin? I've used both (using phppgadmin right now), and they're similar enough. It's not as nice as phpmyadmin, but that shouldn't be a determining factor over whether to use mysql over postgresql.

Thanks for the feedback. That explains a lot then. I always preferred to use the command line, so that I could either make scripts, or at least screen shots, of changes made. Thus, my utter lack of concern about the admin GUIs. PostgreSQL has a kick-ass command line tool, with online help, GNU readline (including auto-complete), annd good output formatting options. Contrast with Oracle's sql*plus tool (yee-UCK!). I seem to remember mysql having at least readline, but not sure about the rest (probably comparable, but who knows).
