(Please bottom-post responses to this group, so that extended thread remain comprehensible. Thank you.) That is a divisive comment, and a matter of opinion. What it really boils down to is that PostgreSQL is better-featured but MySQL is more common in the field. For a beginner who is unlikely to need the more esoteric features that PostgreSQL has to offer, MySQL is absolutely fine and is likely to be better supported.
