This isn't really the right list for this unless there's some Django content involved. If you're wondering if your Django project will work in that space, the answer is try it and see. Changing from MySQL to PostgreSQL in the development phase isn't really that hard. > I think django was originally built with postgres in the first > place and that is why it is more fine tuned for postgres. Except Django isn't more "fine-tuned" for PostgreSQL. If anything, there are more database-specific hacks in the code for MySQL. In fact, depending on how you measure things, there is more attention to MySQL in the general code than Oracle and Oracle has pretty much it's own Queryset implementation! Seems to be a common misconception that MySQL is some kind of second-class citizen when we spend hundreds of hours supporting it. It certainly has limitations, but those are database limitations, not Django ones (all databases have limitations, that isn't a property unique to MySQL, although it's easier to hit a lot of the MySQL ones).
