Personally I prefer Postgresql: a lot more mature than mySQL, but mySQL is
catching up very quickly lately. :-)
Problem with Postgresql was it only ran on *nix, while mySQL did M$ too.
(Now Postgresql is ported to W32, but I have no idea how stable it runs on
W$ machines)
So a lot of of W$-only people were confortable with mysql and not with
Postgresql, and as we all know: the W$ people come in massive numbers.
I always felt a bit sorry for Postgresql for that, it deserved to be the
most popular database in my opinion, not the second or third in line.
(Nothing against mySQL).
