Title: I hope this doesn&#x27;t entice a flamewar, but speaking honestly here, whenever I discuss this (PostgreSQL vs MySQL) with folks working in the data space, PostgreSQL is always touted as the superior RDBMS.<p>Now I know that MySQL is the most popular (because there&#x27;s a banner on mysql.com that says so! &#x2F;s), and I get the sense that on raw speed alone, it&#x27;s probably faster (this is purely anecdotal), but folks that use PostgreSQL speak about it with an air of superiority.<p>So I&#x27;m hoping some of you HN users can shed light on this, based on your experience.<p>Is there a clear winner, or is it purely a case of &quot;it depends&quot;?<p>(and if it&#x27;s the latter, is there a generally agreed comparison list of pros and cons that I can refer to?)<p>Thanks!
