While I do agree with the ideal, the reality may not be good enough. Even
I, a PostgreSQL user for a decade, have to use MySQL right now because
that is what the client uses.
Then you aren't choosing your clients wisely. :)
I am not trying to be rude, but if you don't want to use MySQL, don't.
We don't and we are testament to the fact that it is indeed possible to
make a living off of JUST PostgreSQL.
The only time we touch a different database is to MIGRATE from that
database.
