A newbie on Rails...

I am quite experienced at developing fully fledged sites in a variety of
languages - but mainly based around .NET and perl [not together :-)]. I
am considering deploying a new solution in RoR and through pestering
etc, have decided to go for a fully functional data intensive project in
RoR. I have some questions.

Why is mySQL not the typical default DB?
I'm used to building up tables by hand...I'm aware there is a faster way
of doing it in RoR - should I be old fashioned and comfortable or plunge
right in to the Ruby way?
Hosting companies? Can anyone recommend any cheap development servers,
that we can all work remotely?

Prob inane questions - but my experience with RoR is zero!

Thanks.
