<P><FONT SIZE=2>I use MySQL. A good front end for MySQL is MySQL-Front. The only problem with it is that it is no longer being supported but the current version of it is great for now. There are also some people talking about re-starting the development of this product which would, in turn, cause support to start back of course. There is also a front end for both MySQL and PostgreSQL built in to Webmin <A HREF="http://www.webmin.com" TARGET="_blank">http://www.webmin.com</A>. Migrating should be very simple. You would just install the server software on the new machine and then copy the database over.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi guys. My wife and I are considering starting a business and will</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>need a database. Any recommendations in the Linux realm? What are the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>pros and cons of both MYSql and postgresql? How hard are they to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>migrate to a different machine when hardware needs upgrading? What</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>about front end clients for each? Since both are included in my distro</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>(RH8.0), I would like your input before we begin setting things up.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Also, do you have any recommendations for companies that do web</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>site/domain hosting and why (why this company as opposed to that</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>company)?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks again,</FONT>
