Hey, Threadiverse! I’m looking for informed opinions on database choices.

I can stand up an Internet-facing application and have it use either MySQL or PostgreSQL. Which is the better choice, and why do you think so?

Thanks!

    Absolutely depends on what do you want it for and what resources can you apply on it (learning, set-up, etc).

    That said, MySQL is owned by Oracle. The more-or-less blessed alternative IIRC is MariaDB.
