Now That MySQL Is Oracle…
With Oracle’s acquisition of Sun, you can bet that MySQL is done. Besides, I’ve been working with PostgreSQL at work and it really is better in many ways, especially for scalability and high concurrency. However, installing it used to be pain in the ass, and with my dislike towards MacPort, I really didn’t want to install it on my development machine. Well that is, until now.
You can download one-click installer at http://www.postgresql.org/download/macosx and follow the link. Before you install it, PLEASE READ THE README file!
I also highly recommend test driving Navicat as the client tool. Trust me, it’s well worth it.
