Of course I am biased but when I look at the complaints about PostgreSQL they are largely based on years old information that is out of date. Alternately it is people who really don't know anything about databases but understand how to "use" MySQL. That is obviously a compelling argument. If I know how to use something and it does what I need, why change? The only counter argument I can provide to you is that there is a good chance you don't know what you are missing. Give it a shot. There are plenty of Pg people that would be happy to help MySQL people make their migration. Sincerely, Joshua D.
