title: Should I use Postgresql or MySQL for a new project with Drizzle on the horizon?
body: <p>Since Oracle has MySQL and now is working on <a href="http://www.mycstubes.com/2011/06/is-mysql-dead.html" rel="nofollow">Drizzle</a>, for a new project should I choose Postgres?  I need a free database and though I've always used MySQL in the past, I'm concerned about it now.  Drizzle isn't hosted in a lot of places like MySQL is.</p>
  
  <p>update:  Found this here:  <a href="http://www.wikivs.com/wiki/MySQL_vs_PostgreSQL" rel="nofollow">http://www.wikivs.com/wiki/MySQL_vs_PostgreSQL</a></p>
  
  <p>"PostgreSQL has a good reputation with Oracle developers, which is most certainly related to its much stricter and reliable approach, like that of Oracle. The difficulties and controversy around MariaDB, Drizzle and corporate takeovers have left many people re-considering their database strategy."</p>
