Dear Massimo and the rest of the dev team,

You and your team have assembled a wonderful framework here.  Coming
from a PHP/CakePHP background (non-professional other than some work
as a web designer in the late 1990s), I decided to switch to a python-
based framework and spent the past week carefully researching
options.  After seriously considering Django, I ended up deciding upon
web2py, first and foremost because it's clear that you and your team
very publically stand behind your "product".  Thanks again for a
wonderful tool -- it's much appreciated (and I just made a donation to
the project to express my appreciation more concretely).

I've started playing around with the framework on an EC2 instance,
which is probably where I'll keep it for a small app I'm developing.
I do have a question for the list:

I'd like to set  it up to work with PostgreSQL instead of SQlite.  Is
this the latest HOWTO on setting web2py up with PostgreSQL:
http://www.web2pyslices.com/slices/take_slice/14  It looks like a very
good HOWTO but I want to be sure it's current before I use it.

I've got it set up on my virtual machine and I'm very familiar with
SQL so it should not be too hard for me to set up the database;  I
just need recent documentation on setting web2py to work with it
instead of sqlite.

Thanks in advance for any input on guides to setting up PostgreSQL
with web2py.

Kind regards,

Eric
