Not proselytizing, just curious. I’ve actually never even used Postgresql for anything before, but I’m using it for a project of my own that I’m just starting, and want to know if there were any specific things that led you away from it. Development, scaling, etc…

Thanks!

By the way, my wife has been on Ravelry since almost the beginning, and got me to sign up a month or two ago. I’m amazed at how you’ve single-handedly managed to get so much done in such a short time. Congratulations on everything!
