darn, missed a letter and a number.

And, i got the database setup. Now is the um, table structure and etc the same as MySQL? (to create tables, with php and etc)

Thanks.

Much of it is the same, yes. However, Postgres does a far better job of ahering to SQL standards, and lacks a lot fop the hackishness of MySQL, so if you're using those hacks you might find Postgres lacking, Smile
