  1. Mysql and PostgreSQL Dumb Question

    I'm not a expert when it comes to php or sql. Can a PostgreSQL database be used with a script that uses mysql? Or are the two databases completely different? :cool:




    Thanks,
    Brandon

    They are two different types of SQL. While a lot of their basic query statements are the same, their syntaxes vary a bit from here and there.

    I'm not sure why you want to use PostreSQL on a MySQL database (or vice-versa) considering the fact we offer both PostreSQL and MySQL.
