People here are bound to prefer PostgreSQL to MySQL, otherwise you'd
find us on a MySQL list. What sort of database were you looking at? On
what operating system? With what hardware?

You might want to look at the website http://www.postgresql.org/
particularly the "featured users", "more quotes" links on the front
page. If you click the "About" link on the front page almost all the
links down the left-hand side would be relevant.

Did none of this information meet your needs, or were you having trouble
finding it?
