    MySQL and PGSQL and Hostname Question

    first, i would like the thoughts of some folks with more experience
    than i have.

    i want to learn pgsql. i have some vb and msaccess experience and
    would like to learn how to use php and pgsql to develop some nice
    website / application functionality.

    however, i'm not sure the hurdle of relatively miniscule documentation
    and tutorials is worth the effort. i'm now thinking i should just use
    mysql to start and, if the need really arises, move over to pgsql.

    i'm busy with a lot of stuff right now - regular job, starting a
    business, developing a web site for the business, learning graphics
    programs, living life, blah, blah, blah.

    what is your opinion? go with the better documented db and develop
    more quickly but have to possibly switch over later when time may be
    more available and retain my hair or bite the bullet and go with
    pgsql?

    differing opinions are appreciated and encouraged so i can evaluate
    them based on my own set of values.

    also i am trying to set up localhost as my url so my hardcoded links
    work on my local win98 machine (actual webserve is linux).

    host.sam is as follows...

    127.0.0.1 localhost www.easyautodeals.com

    my apache httpd.conf file shows the following for ServerName:

    ServerName www.easyautodeals.com

    however, when i type easyautodeals into my web browser, i go straight
    to my actual web server and not to my "localhost" location.

    any guidance or direction w/b greatly appreciated.

      of course, i meant when i type "easyautodeals. com" toward the end of
      my last note. a funny thing has happened. when i type
      "www.easyautode als.com" into my web browser, it doesn't find my sight.
      i have to type "easyautdoeals. com" or "http://easyautodeals.c om"

      does anyone have any ideas why?

          DNS issues probably. Your DNS entry has to have the following line in
          order for www. to work:

          www.easyautodeals.com. IN CNAME easyautodeals.c om.

          P.S. I love postgres and highly recommend it. I think the docs are
          quite good.
