If you guys require newer db versions for centos usually you can find other repos like
EPEL or others that will have the newer versions and get the newer versions uploaded to
them.

Try installing MariaDB instead of MySQL. It is a drop-in replacement and the version

Let me ask this... CentOS provides Postgres 9.2, which meets minimum
requirements:
Available Packages
Name : postgresql-server
Arch : x86_64
Version : 9.2.24
Release : 1.el7_5
The question is, has anyone had success with a Wiki MySQL to Postgres conversion like at
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Converting_from_other_Databases_to_Postgreā¦
?
I personally like Postgres but I am not a hard core database or web guy. I have not hit
the painpoints real database and web guys know.
Postgres also makes fewer appearances on Bugtraq than MySQL.
