Actually, PHP 5 has some *very nice* native database functions for
postgres that mysql doesn't have.
http://php.net/pgsql
As examples, pg_update, pg_insert, pg_delete ... passing in arrays
versus SQL strings is great, and it makes coding much simpler. Yes, I
know you can get the same functionality with a DB class, but why bother
with more deps?
(Theres a few more cool functions, but I can't remember off the top of
my head)
