I am interested in why you think PostgreSQL is cheaper. Could you 
elaborate on this?

I don't understand this. Generally speaking, PostgreSQL might be better 
because it has more features. But, in the context of ZSQLCatalog, what 
feature in PostgreSQL makes it better than MySQL? The purpose of 
ZSQLCatalog is only for indexing and does not require any fancy 
feature.

If you think PostgreSQL is better even as the backend of ZSQLCatalog, 
let me know the reason. I'm really interested in this kind of technical 
issues.

(By the way, note that you can use PostgreSQL as the backend of 
ZSQLCatalog with no change. ZSQLCatalog is independent of what database 
you use. You even don't have to use relational databases.)
