Well, if you *insist* on starting a war, so be it.
MySQL is a toy piece of garbage that lets you insert corrupt data
without so much as a peep. Every other RDBMS known to man rejects
out-of-range data. BUT, you say, MySQL5 allows you to set
STRICT_TRANS_TABLES and STRICT_ALL_TABLES. Sure, but they can be
disabled on a per-process basis, which *still* allows you to insert
bad data.

PostgreSQL *might* be a bit harder to set up, but I doubt it.
Reading the docs and using the CLI, it's always been easy for me to
set things up.
$ su postfix
$ initdb --username=$THE_OWNER --pgdata=$TARGET_DIR
