In this chapter you will learn a little bit about database server products available
for Linux, including both commercial and Free or Open Source products. We
will briefly discuss some factors that might enter into choosing one over the
other. We will then describe how one might design tables to back our applica-
tion, and how to create and implement those tables in two Open Source
databases: MySQL and PostgreSQL.
