Rails treats both databases the same -- the areas of difference are far beyond what beginning tutorials would cover. Heck, you could even start learning with SQLite and not have to install *anything* (since SQLite is also incorporated in Mac OS). It may not be much of a database, but it should definitely be OK for learning your way around Rails. You just won't be able to use some sophisticated DB features -- and don't expect multiuser concurrency. > > My Very Best, > > Frank Best, -- Marnen Laibow-Koser http://www.marnen.org mar...@marnen.org -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
