You can use drakx to uninstall it; I think it works even in terminal mode. Alternatively, you can use You can install mysql alongside postgres without causing any problems, as they use completely different protocols and network ports.

There's a very good tutorial on getting started with postgresql at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/. Basically you need to su to root in order to su to postgres to create a user account. Then you can create a database, and after that it's very easy to use.

thank you for your help,

I was going to work with postgres but the application never work because a error.
I installed postgres, I did the cluster and I started creating DB by CREATDB and also creating some tables, but when I tried to access from any php page, I continue getting the error;

Call to undefined function: pg_connect() in /home/projects/web/pgstart.php on line 3

so for this reason I decided to uninstall it and start with my Mysql

any help or sugestion or link about this error that I am seeing that happend to many peoples

thank you

This is a problem with your PHP installation, not with PostgreSQL. You haven't got the pg_* extensions installed, which you need to connect to a postgres database server; see the PHP documentation for details.
