The link in your post is not correct (anymore): 404 (of course the server could be down but I am not sure how permanent that might be)
My impression is (from both links) that PostgreSQL is the better database, in particular because of the ACID compliance. Apparently from version 7.1 the stability of PostgreSQL has improved to such an extent, that this should not favour MySQL as much anymore as it did. Of course, the much larger user base of MySQL and its security capabilities remain a strong pre.
