That's not what I meant. I should have said "easiest choice" not
"best choice". I prefer Postgres technology myself. But in terms of
support, getting info, and installing on OS X, MySQL is the easiest
to get up and running. They have a simple installer package so you
don't even need to mess with compiling or package management. OS X
has the mysql users predefined as well. I'm assuming he is a
database newbie so that's why I recommended MySQL.

concurrency, it is actually a pretty bad choice.

choice if you are doing an embedded database app. My current
project builds on SQLite.
