However, MySQL is the standard open source database right now.

We had a chat about this recently; it's my feeling that PostgreSQL was hampered as an adopted platform because developers could not easily install it on their Win32 workstations, if at all (pg 7.x). Conversely, MySQL has had a simple easy working Win32 implementation reading and waiting for a long time.

From what I know in talking to folks and our own place, most develop on Win32 primarily then start deploying it to linux/unix further along the cycle. :-/ Personally (from semi-admin POV) I'm a fan of the better security methodology in pgsql.
