title: MySQL vs PostgreSQL for Web Applications
body: <p>I am working on a web application using Python (Django) and would like to know whether MySQL or PostgreSQL would be more suitable when deploying for production.</p>
  <p>In one <a href="https://blog.stackoverflow.com/2008/06/podcast-8/">podcast</a> Joel said that he had some problems with MySQL and the data wasn't consistent.</p>
  <p>I would like to know whether someone had any such problems. Also when it comes to performance which can be easily tweaked?</p>
