What is better to choose for a site on Joomla 3.6+: PostgreSQL or MySQL?

Question

MySQL

Almost everyone writes that PostgreSQL is "cooler" than MySQL, but now Uber has switched from the first to MySQL. And he says it's better. So how to be?

Answer 1

See my answer and comments on it Which book on databases should I choose? there it is written about the answer to this article by Uber.
But in essence. If you have tens of millions of records, then there is hardly a place for Joomla, and if not, then there is hardly a place for PostgreSQL. Do it with MySQL and don't worry. You just won't notice any difference other than the need for more initial setup with pgtune or something and some difference in the default fields.
PS PostgreSQL - base, MySQL - base, MySQLi - module MySQL module (MySQL Improved) most likely there is a typo

Answer 2

Uber moved because he can write his own engines on top of the muscle.
Can you hire a programming office for this kind of thing?
No
Well then use postgres
mysqli != mysql for now

Answer 3

If you are doing on Joomla, then the database does not matter.
Bobuk once said that those who have mysql crashes switch to postgres, and those who have postgres crashes switch to mysql. In other words, there is not much difference if you do not need additional. fields and postgres mapping modules.
