I keep reading that MySQL is easier to administer, but never seen any 
evidence of that.  And in my very limited experience of both, I've found 
PostgreSQL easier to set up & administer.

 From what I've read about problems with MySQL, I think that if you 
value your data, just don't use MySQL.   At least 4 times, since 2001, 
I've searched for PostgreSQL vs MySQL comparisons, and each time found 
PostgreSQL to be superior in terms of performance, reliability, 
robustness, and ease of use.

There is a definite trend of people moving from MySQL to PostgreSQL, and 
its not just because of Oracle (MySQL diehards are moving to MariaDB).

I have a lot more confidence in PostgreSQL, than MySQL/MariaDB.
