In that case I would suggest just using MySQL: it's basically what the whole world is using anyway. The differences between MySQL-InnoDB and PostgreSQL aren't that great (yes I know some fanboy will probably flame me for this) at least not when you are just getting to grips with a new environment and a new language. The moment the differences do matter to you, you probably wont need to ask here how to set it up.
