MySQL vs. PostgreSQL—Which Database Is Better?
I’ve looked at the pros and cons of both Postgres and MySQL—the conclusion I come to: It depends on your preference.
Both vendors develop powerful databases. Thier speed isn’t all that bad either.
Postgres has a few more advanced features than MySQL, therefore data maintainance is made more efficient. When it comes down to it I prefer Postgres, it’s heavy duty and runs best for large web applications. But of course you can use it for any size application. MySQL is better for smaller applications, it’s easier to pick up.
I would suggest you learn both databases. MySQL is extremely popular, chances are that you’ll use it a few times if not 90% of the time. PostgreSQL is not as popular but it happens to be the world’s most advanced

My advice is: use the database you like the best and that best suits your project.
Hope this helps!
