    Start with Google. A search for "postgres mysql" will yield lots of
    history.

    If your geek friend is any good he will give you specifics as to why
    PosgreSQL is better. Depending on what you're doing, it might not
    matter, or it might matter a lot. Note that both databases are
    constantly improving, so old comparisons may no longer be valid.
