I dont see why theese 2 point are "Advantages of MySQL over PostgreSQL":
1) MySQL support is more widespread on ISP (Internet Service Provider)
webservers.
Because its used more, it has an advantage? Whats the technical point in
this?
2) There more books and tutorials on MySQL
Everyone can write a book, but its about the good books that count!

If you write an app, you may want to host it somewhere. You have more
choices. This means probably better service, lower price, faster
response etc . Think of the opposite extreme, writing your code for
some obscure engine. Then you pretty well have to host it on your own
server.

Granted. The more books there are, the more competition, so the
better odds of finding a good one. The most awful books are usually
on some obscure topic without any alternatives.
