Well, wonder no more, and let your tax dollars do the work in the form of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory publishing this unbiased review of MySQL vs. PostgreSQL. After reading it, however, it seems that MySQL ranks the same or better on most of the accounts."

    PostgreSQL seems to be a more "professional" database. Speed isn't everything, check on the article things like DATA INTEGRITY, SPECIAL server-side FEATURES, LOCKING and CONCURRENCY SUPPORT or LARGE OBJECTS.
    I choose PostgreSQL for my applications.
