There are a large number of high-traffic commercial sites done with Rails. Just don't use a toy DB and you'll be fine. > WTF? Why would you eliminate support for the most > popular database on the internet? Stupid. The support exists, and plenty of people are using mySQL successfully with current versions of Rails. Did you install the mysql gem? (That said, I think mySQL is something of a toy DB, and I would recommend PostgreSQL instead. I also think the decision to make SQLite the default was silly. But it takes about 10 seconds to override that default.) > > Looks like I'll be using the Adobe tools for development as usual - > sprinkle in a little PHP and Python and there is no need for RoR - You got it backwards. Sprinkle in a little Ruby and there is no need for an inferior language like PHP. :) (Yes, I'm a former PHP developer.) > what genius decided to stop supporting mySql? It is still supported -- you just now need to explicitly install the adapter.
