PostgreSQL has roughly one-quarter of the market share of MySQL, and I’d guess that PHP projects favor MySQL even more. But PostgreSQL deserves some love from the PHP community too. PostgreSQL is open source with a simpler license that’s closer to PHP’s license. As RDBMS technology, PostgreSQL has always been more advanced than MySQL. Don’t you wish MySQL supported check constraints? Sequences? Recursive queries, common table expressions, and window functions?
