    I prefer MySQL, simply because it works very well with PHP.

    However, MySQL does have limitations. It's SQL language is quite dry, and you can't have stored procedures. Also, views are quite new and a bit limiting.

    However, MySQL is very strong at managing Gigabytes of data, and support master-slave (repication) databases very easily.

    So, even if PostgreSQL has more features, I prefer MySQL.

    Good luck!
