I know that MySQL uses MyISAM storage engine by default and was just
trying to look on Google to try and see if I could understand what
storage engine does PostgreSQL use by default when I generate a
database / table. Is there some way someone (me) who knows nothing
about how a ORDBMS works understand the difference between all storage
engine options and which does PostgreSQL use by default.

Thanks for any help...
