I do all my web applications with PHP, and use only Postgres and
Informix.

I have found lots of things that the mysql anf the informix module for
php has, that the postgres doesn't. Especifically, when you walk through
a query. In postgres you have to tell the function which row you want.
In Informix, you can use the "NEXT" option so it walks through the rows.

I'm using pine on Linux RedHat 6.0 (with some upgrades).
