I'd always recommend MySQL or a highly compatible variant such as
MariaDB - Postgres is great, but Wikimedia runs MariaDB so I do too.

Try installing MariaDB instead of MySQL. It is a drop-in replacement and the version
available in CentOS 7 is recent enough to run modern MediaWiki once you enable the MariaDB
yum repo.
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.
