Databases

[Gary Layng]

A somewhat esoteric seeming question about PostgreSQL  and Firebird database 
programs, but: is one preferable over the other?  The only thing I know about 
them is that they're both open source database programs.

I'm giving Quasar a try.  It's a newly open-sourced accounting program created 
by this Calgary company.  The earlier, "OK to use on a single computer" 
non-open-source licence version was no biggie for setup and etc., but the new 
version is demanding either one of these database programs (or Sybase, which 
is proprietary, and therefore if possible to be avoided...), and the only 
database program I have is mySQL.
