Phil and others, if you intend to use PostgreSQL, I recommend installing an
additional copy and running it on a different port.  That way you do not
interfere with the install used by the GUI.  Just like there are many good
web scripting languages, there are many good databases.  I suggest that
anyone who is unsure which to use post criteria so list members can
recommend one that's appropriate and list the relevant pros/cons.  Otherwise
this type of thread just morphs into a holy war.
