You know what, about two weeks ago I was starting a new Rails hobby project, and I thought &quot;all I&#x27;ve heard about for the past year is how everyone loves Postgres&quot;, and was about to throw it in there, when I saw a link to Google search trends comparing the two, and MySQL is still so far ahead: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;trends&#x2F;explore#cmpt=q&amp;q=mysql,+postgresql" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;trends&#x2F;explore#cmpt=q&amp;q=mysql,+postgr...</a><p>It&#x27;s quite possible this is just due to people supporting existing applications, but I dunno, I am tempted to stick with MySQL for new stuff for the next little while.
