RE: [PEAR] PHP 5.0.0 Beta 1 : alternatives to MySQL?

For those unfamiliar with Postgres, there are wonderful tools like PGAdmin and PGAccess. You don't have to have a local copy of the database on your own machine. Cygwin is a little difficult but is definately doable. I don't think anyone should rule out Postgres, even without a full released Windows version, until they have looked at it. Here's your chance to justify your Linux box.
