yeah. So I haven't set up a postgres or mysql server in more than five years, but I was seriously into both before that. In the early to mid-aughts, I was heavily into PostgreSQL when I had a choice, but spent a lot of time on MySQL when other people did the deciding.

So last week I was setting up a sql server for a side project I was doing with a friend, and went with MySQL just because I knew it would take me ten minutes to setup async replication, whereas with PostgreSQL, I'd have to spend a bunch of time figuring out what third party thing to use now.

Even just having simple master/slave asynchronous replication functionality built in would help a lot.
