PostgreSQL is what you would expect from a database server: full ACID
compliant transactions, complete stored procs w/languages, etc. It's also 100%
free, as in both beer and freedom.
MySQL is ubiquitous. If you want to run an app on a hosting service and
they only support one database, it will be MySQL. There is a free version
available, but ever since it was bought by Oracle, they have been slowly
squeezing that and making it harder to use without paying. Even the creator of
MySQL has been saying not to use it anymore, and recommends MariaDB, which is
his drop-in replacement for MySQL.
