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.

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_PostgreSQL ? 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.
