I'm local, and definitely prefer Pg even though I find myself stuck with MySQL rather too frequently. I don't know if I can commit to a talk right now, but I can help out getting you a speaker if I can't do it myself. However, one of the problems you may find from the Catalyst side of things is that we tend to forget the particulars of various databases because DBIx::Class, SQL::Abstract and SQL::Translator take a lot of the pain from being cross-database compatible out of the mix. Happy to give a talk on painless scaffolding using some various CRUD and DBIx::Class stuff, that works very well with PostgreSQL (my current fascination is REST-based stuff, and am quite fond of Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API) Anybody else have any thoughts? _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
