If it were me I wouldn't use MySQL for anything at all. I'd use sqlite 
for little non-critical local applications, and Postgres for the rest.

Postgres is not difficult at all, provided you RTFM and follow the 
instructions (the documentation is superb). And whichever you use, you 
need to learn SQL anyway.
