Yes, the debate about the merits continues.

One simple request/suggestion: As an alum of the University of California at Berkeley, I’d like to ask that you correct the spelling of “Berkeley” – there are THREE ‘b’s. (you got it right in your links; just correct it in the test for the links).

[It will always enhance your site's credibility if you seem knowledgeable enough of major computing institutions to spell them correctly.]

>> but Mysql is absolute free and more secure.

I don’t agree, MySQL might be free in most cases, it’s not in every case. PostgreSQL is always for free. The BSD-licence gives you more freedom.

And security, PostgreSQL is considered safer as MySQL, just check The Database Hacker’s Handbook:
“By default, PostgreSQL is probably the most security-aware database available …”

PostgreSQL has more and better options to secure the database.

Mysql is an answer if you have to choose one among them. While Postgresql does offering a great and flexible but Mysql is absolute free and more secure.
