PostgreSQL is regarded as outdated, but it is still a very excellent DB for small deployments or tasks where large scalability isn't a priority. It's also the most rock-solid of the free/open DBs, having had decades of development. Being the first standard of SQL databases, it was also my first exposure when I tried to learn SQL many years ago. It lacked some syntax found in MySQL, but it may be those limitations have changed since I switched over, years ago, to MySQL.
MySQL offers the best features for a highly scalable, multi-purpose DB, making it a great choice for supporting many different operating schemas, such as a game server and web server. I believe this is why MaNGOS chose MySQL. I also chose it for that reason and for my own preferences. I liked MySQL's expanded syntax, better support of other database engines, and being easier to work with for a newbie. If you want to experiment a little, try using the Falcon database engine plug-in, turbo-charging MySQL with what many regard as the fastest, most efficient engine there is for MySQL.
