Right tool for the right job!

If all you are doing is presenting web content without much in the way of heavy-duty transactional requirements (ie., no money is changing hands, mostly doing output as opposed to input), then MySQL is fine. Of course, PG would be fine as well. I don't get all of the zealotry on both sides. They are two fine databases, most stuff is not "enterprise" level requirements, so no suprise that you see MySQL all over the place. That doesn't make PG any "better" or "worse"!
