There isn't a simple answer to this, it's like asking 'which is better for
cooking: aluminum or stainless steel'. The answer is 'it depends on what
you're trying to do'.i

There are things that PostgreSQL does very well. There are things that
MySQL does very well. There are things that they don't do as well.

PostgreSQL is, IMHO, more robust and will handle larger databases. MySQL
is better at isolating users from each other and requires less expertise to
administer.

Depending on your needs, the size of your organization and your budget, you
may want to bring in outside consultants to help you plan.
