Truth be told, the only other one I have any *real* experience with (ie
more than just install and see if it runs a basic query) is mysql

been told repeatedly that postgres also handles heavy loads much better
than mysql, but mostly from postgres advocates.  8)  I haven't played
around with heavy load comparisons myself.
