Sounds like a great talk. I'd also be curious to hear where/how I'd be fighting the framework after moving to Postgres. Not sure if it still matters, but IIRC last time I looked at it (been a few years), there were some issues w/AR - I assume ARel/heroku have done away with most of that, but a general overview of remaining pain points (if any) would be helpful.

While I did a polemic on Postgresql vs MySQL back in the day: <http://sdruby.org/podcast/55> … and it’s still pretty much relevant, if there is interest, I could do something that’s less of a polemic and more a technical overview of the features that would be available to you should you switch to Postgres (or that you just may not be aware of even if you are using Postgres), and what they’re for. I’m thinking things like partial and functional indexes, custom data types, the advanced programming features, hstore and Postgis. I could do a presentation on these features at the next meeting, or perhaps in a month or so if y’all don’t want too all Postgres all the time(™). :-) -- SD Ruby mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby -- SD Ruby mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby
