Without getting into a database war :)
Back when we made the decision MySQL offered us some speed improvements
over PostgreSQL.
It was a long time ago, and I have since use postgres for other projects
and am very happy with its performance. 

Really what would be best would be if Koha could be as database
independent as possible. Certainly this was in our minds at the
beginning. But as they say "the best laid plans of mice and men oft go
astray".

So its definitely a goal to get a system that can run with almost any
sql database in the background. Though I dont think an immediate goal.
