mysql or postgresql? Which is better for an Internet-facing application

submitted a month ago by

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!
