Even though every dev on my team knows postgres equally or better than mysql, management chose mysql. I'm one of the equally camp, and don't possess a strong personal preference, but I was surprised that it was the favorite of the devs and not trusted by the business.

If it makes you feel any better, in the GOV.UK department I'm contracting in, just about every project is using PostgreSQL.

It might take some time but the tide is flowing in PostgreSQL's direction.
