   Yesterday I spent a few minutes trying to choose the DB to vote for. I
am using both Postgres and MySQL - different tasks require different
aproaches and solutions - and I am satisfied with both DBs. There are
niches for both of them.
   Finally I voted for Postgres - just because MySQL already has its votes :)
