I'm sure you can find many technical comparisons of MySQL and PostgreSQL, and the ultimate decision depends on *your* app's requirements, personal preference/familiarity, etc. Try them both out locally and take it from there. However -- "My host only offers MySQL" -- eh? If you want to learn to maintain your own server, that's great - so why not start by installing PostgreSQL yourself? It's not like it's an either/or choice :-) FWIW, -- Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ hassan.schroe...@gmail.com http://about.me/hassanschroeder twitter: @hassan Consulting Availability : Silicon Valley or remote -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
