I just switched three Django projects from MySQL to PostgreSQL mainly because of two resaons:
- licensing/development outlook (I don't like the direction MySQL takes under Oracle)
- enforced data integrity (I shot myself in the foot a couple of times with MySQL)
After the switch, I have not seen a performance difference (yet) compared to MySQL 5.1 (MyISAM), but I never cared to optimize my database server and MySQL promises to be a lot faster.
Kind regards,
Jan
