I know this isn't the list for database discussions, but I've never gotten a
decent answer. I don't know much about either, so I'm kind of curious why
postgresql over mysql?
I'll try not to get too OT... I had previously just used MySQL (and
SQLite), but have been reaading some PostGres stuff lately. I took a look
around and basically... you and I won't know or notice a difference
probably ever. There's all sorts of crazy tweaks you can get for
reliability, speed, and backups depending on what you use. So the only
advice I can give on that is just learn to use both.
And even better yet, just use SQLAlchemy if you're ever touching a
database from Python because it handles all the mucky SQL for you - you
just define the ORM. (Hey look! A Python module!)
