MySql is widely used because it is free

Probably something YOU are doing incorrectly then rather any inherent problems with MySql.

I used to be a fan on MySQL ... but now i'm switching to PostGRE ... it's a mini oracle but it's free. Give it a try.

The cost (free), outweighs the quirks and limitations. And 5.x branch is almost like a modern dbms already.

ps: for Postgre and Berkley - its ok, if you have own server, but if you are lending it - then you will have almost zero choise. -> MySQL.

I've tested a bunch of hosters, but they all had postgresql serie 7 (at least, 8 sometimes) available.
Mysql is more deployed because that 10 years ago, it was less demanding on the hardware than postgresql.
