Well I have done searches on the Net 3 times since I first came across
PostgresSQL in 2001, and each time it came out faster and more reliable
than MySQL. I have done some DBA work and programming in both MySQL and
PostgreSQL, and I find PostgresSQL much easier to use.

My background in databases started on a mainframe in a COBOL
environment, and I have had experience with Oracle and PRGRESS on a
large UNIX system about 12 years ago..

I am the software architect and chief programmer (currently the only
one) for a JEE system to set up a virtual clinic for training purpose in
Optometry, and I have chosen PostgreSQL as the backend over MySQL (which
is in use on another system where I work).

So I would definitely recommend PostgreSQL!
