In what way do you feel like rails support for postgresql is an afterthought?
I've noticed some books / documentation assume mysql, but that's usually limited to the "and now setup your database" section.
I've been using rails + postgresql for a long time now (almost 2 years in production) and I can't think of a single problem that was due to not using mysql. Of course, I don't use every plugin or feature, so there may be something out there...
- chaostheory 18y agothe last one I remember are postgres specific bugs involving postgres datatypes. my memory could be fuzzy but I feel that this would generally occur after a fresh rails release (2.2.2 is the exception) well I am in the midst of migrating my rails app to postgres now - hopefully what I feel and reality don't match
