Yes, this is what I seem to recall them telling me (as I mentioned
yesterday) I think they confuse the issue when talking about
accessing the MySQL client libraries - I have no idea whether an RB
app accesses them or not, or whether they're accessed somehow via the
RB plugin.
I would like to have pg support, but I fear clients located in
other cities will not locate anyone with pg experience. MySQL is
the gorilla with tons of books and training out there.

Agreed - and this is why I turned away from PG. It appears to be a
robust db but it doesn't have built-in text indexing (something I
require) and there are nowhere near as many good tools available. I
feel a lot more comfortable with MySQL in that regard.
There is no "right" answer to this. If your clients use MySQL and
own it, they probably don't want to mix-n-match systems.

I tend to think the opposite. If someone came to me with a MySQL
solution I'd be happy to just stack it onto our existing MySQL server.
