Hello there, It is definitely interesting to see how people choose PostgreSQL in the Rails environment over other commercial DBMS'es. I would be very interested in seeing how you guys maintain your PostgreSQL data especially with migrations. Personally, I find it hard to integrate migrations properly with PostgreSQL's great but specialised functionality that does not transfer easily to other databases (e.g. full text search).
I am a partner in a company, Meeho!, developing an online document management, CRM, and project management web application with the same name. Most of the code is written in Ruby on Rails and -- like your project -- lots of Javascript. The backend is written in PostgreSQL and a Java EE application performing the heavy duty tasks. <shameless marketing> Visit http://www.meeho.net/ for more information. :) </shameless marketing> On Thu, Jun 3, 2010 at 12:51 PM, Keith Pitt <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi All, > > My company released our latest and greatest Rails app and I thought > you guys might be interested: > > 50and.com > > <marketing_jargon>"Meeting new people can be difficult and daunting in > this age group so we have provided a safe, secure and friendly way to > meet like minded people you can connect with. 50and is a safe, > supportive and simple mature dating and networking site for senior > singles looking for over 50 dating or just mature people looking to > make new friends."</marketing_jargon> > > It uses Rails 2.3.5 & PostgreSQL.
