Let's back up for a moment. I'm not sure I understand your dilemma.

First, are you saying that you do your entire migration in raw SQL? Are 
you using create_table (or its friends) at all?

Second, what is the problem with PostgreSQL? Your first message referred 
to that as a "catch". PostgreSQL is just as fully supported by 
ActiveRecord as MySQL is (as far as I know).

Third, if you want to use a char instead of a character varying, you can 
override native_database_types to include a :char definition.

Lastly, why don't you post some of your code so we can actually see what 
you are referring to.

Peace.
