I think MySQL is more popular based on its speed and the combination of Linux, 
Apache, MySQL and PHP (LAMP). PostgreSQL has more functionality, but MySQL is 
catching up. The latest release of MySQL will now do sub-selects and the last 
several releases will do transactions. I think you will still need to go to 
PostgreSQL if you want stored procedures and support for foreign keys.
