Postgresql does not silently truncate your data by default. That in itself is reason enough to use postgres.

Neither do modern versions and configurations of MySQL, mind.

Absolutely true. However, which platform do you want to trust your data to: One that recently stopped eating data, or one that has a 20 year history of putting correctness first?

The one that is the better fit for my use case, I'd imagine, if neither platform no longer wants to have my data for lunch. That said, I'd still choose PostgreSQL for a new project.
