All good stuff, and let me add one thing, based on my experience with
an app that's primarily developed on MRI/MySQL and deployed on a
JRuby/Oracle platform -- write tests like there's no tomorrow :-)

You will almost certainly find cases where the adapters for those two
respective DBs behave differently; good tests will help you determine
whether it's an adapter bug or a logic bug in your app.

HTH, and good luck,
