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!

Many things, too many to even remember.

Very bad SQL implementation is a good start, still bad replication support (compared to Postgres), various bugs present for too long...
