RoR likes SQLite as its default. But as I understand it, you wouldn't want to use SQLite in higher load situations, so it is good to know that in theory it might be easy to switch :-) Peter-man: My reason is that I don’t want to spend time mucking around with figuring out how to get RoR to talk to MySQL right now, rather than just leaning RoR.

as far as ‘database independence’ goes — i’ve found it to be more of a talking point than anything else — there’s really just no reason to change databases mid-way through a project, or even post-deploy — that’s why people don’t do it.

not to mention, would anyone be crazy/stupid enough to build/test on one database only to deploy on another? no.

I looked at Ruby first a while ago but I don't think I really knew what I was looking for. I've unfortunately settled on Java which I'll be picking up after my Cisco classes. Let me know how it goes.
