It is of my interest to know the characteristics Postgresql, as they are its advantages, if it is better than mysql and if they also have a document that compares these two data bases, if exists a version for Windows

Hi Luis,

PostgreSQL has been compared a few times against other database's, but
they are mostly out of date as of the 7.2 release. The comparison in
question that I feel offer a most objective view of all database's
involved in the comparison is from PHPBuilder (www.phpbuilder.com) the
full URL is:

PostgreSQL has no native port to windows as of yet, but if you use the
"Cygwin" package (http://www.cygwin.org) they have a PostgreSQL version
that has been compiled and tested for Windows.

For the record, there are a couple of companies that have done native
windows ports of postgresql, though they are commercially licensed
afaik.
