I'm sure you can find many technical comparisons of MySQL and
PostgreSQL, and the ultimate decision depends on *your* app's
requirements, personal preference/familiarity, etc. Try them both
out locally and take it from there.

However -- "My host only offers MySQL" -- eh?

If you want to learn to maintain your own server, that's great - so
why not start by installing PostgreSQL yourself? It's not like it's an
either/or choice :-)

FWIW,
