   @pharmafemboy will I get hit with a bat if I say "postgres"?

     no, but I have no idea what Postgres is, or if it works with WordPress

     @pharmafemboy that's fair. For a real answer I voted mariaDB FWIW.

     @pharmafemboy@mastodon.xyz @prettygood@socially.drinkingatmy.computer (Sparkles) PostgreSQL (aka Postgres) is another RDBMS server, quite reliable

     @pharmafemboy @Sparky "better" is subjective. Both can be provisioned for to function on lower end hardware. I would consider first what WP supports better, which I can't speak to.
     
     Personally, subjectively, I find postgres has better tooling around it, and is easier to tune for limited machines.

     @Sparky @prettygood

     is it better than MariaDB?

     I need something that can run on a fairly low end server (a single dual x99 server blade)
