Ok, so I want to know all the differences, I have both but am unsure about PostgreSQL, I have always used MySQL and when I tried PostgreSQL it was different, like in MySQL its database = top level then tables under it, but in PostgreSQL there were databases tables and schemes with tables in them.

I feel like a n00b again :puzzle:
