All the talk here and everywhere have convinced me that: - MySql is the choice for niche workloads and to be used by experts not only in DB but in MySql Quirks. - PG is the sane choice for everyone. Experts benefit more, but inexperienced developers will be better served from a more solid foundation, and still PG is so good that will be along your side for years to come. PG maybe will not shine in some niche workloads but we are talking about problems that most DO NOT HAVE. --- Years before, I have read (and believed!) that "PHP, MySql, JS" was "better" for inexperienced (or new) developers, because are more "easy" to learn and use. Then eventually is show how facebook and others used them. However, after +18 years on the field, I become more and more convinced that is totally the reverse: - PHP, JS, MySql, etc are tools for experts. - More strict tools are better for everyone. - Only expert will use correctly any tool, even if have quirks. - This is even more notorious if the tool is more dynamic than static, or provide more "freedom"/less "safety", like C VS. Pascal. - More well designed or strict tools provide equal benefits to experts, but sometimes a tool with not safety-protection allow to do hacky things easier (or possible).
