I'm not a programmer, nor am I a DBA. I'm a sysadmin. If I'm
installing a database backend it's either for someone else or it's part
of a larger application.
In the former case I install what the someone else in question wants
because it's not a matter of which is better. It's a matter of what the
requester wants. It's not my place to force the requester to use X
unless the requester asks for my opinion or there is a policy in place
that stipulates such requirements.
In the latter case I install whatever follows the dependency chain. For
example, Mediawiki and RT on Debian depend on MySQL therefore they get
MySQL. Again, it's not a matter of which is better. It's a matter of
what I have to support.
