Depends on your data. Sometimes (particularly when you have only 1-3 tables) MySQL is much faster and you have to go out of your way writing stored procedures to make Postgres compete.<p>Example:<p><pre><code>   select COUNT(1), status FROM some_table GROUP BY status ORDER BY status; --  Postgres 10x slower.
</code></pre>
Also, mysql CLI is IMO much nicer than the postgres version. Better and faster autocompletes.
