What am I doing wrong?? Also, is there a way to connect to a postgres or mysql database? Is one better than the other?

Postgresql is a true object relational database which includes the ability to define transactions etc., MySQL isn't a true RDBMS. If you are serious about the back-end and your application includes the ability to update the database by more than one user concurrently then PostgreSQL is the way to go. It's also Open Source. It's easy to connect to Postgresql using the ZPyGreSQLDA which you can find on zope.org at the end of the downloads pages.
