I know this might not be a popular answer on a Fedora site, however I think it's important to provide an unbiased answer here as well.
Unless you need cutting-edge features from your database (which does not seem to be the case), Fedora may not be the best distribution for this particular application. Fedora has a frequent release schedule and a relatively short support cycles, which is great for active users who want upgrades, but not as great for the long-term stability and support of a server. If you need a system that includes long term support, you might be better off looking elsewhere.
A Linux distribution like CentoOS / RHEL (essentially the same product with different support models) would be a much better option if you want to deploy a database and keep it stable and supported for a long time. Your software would be "frozen" in terms of a specific version (for the most part) and you would be upgraded at that version (point releases), for a relatively long time. The focus on stability would minimize the chances of something breaking as there are (usually) no major feature upgrades in long-term distributions. Your Fedora skills would be directly transferable to either of those distributions as they are based on a stable Fedora. The latest CentOS / RHEL is based on Fedora 19, which is still fully supported, and will be fully supported for a long time. Another popular distro for long-term support and stability is Debian which also has a long support cycle, though it is less similar to Fedora.
Even if you decide to switch, keeping up with Fedora with respect to this application, is great for knowing what is in the pipeline for the next stable release of CentOS / RHEL. Fedora is also great for system you want a system with more current versions of software.
