Thanks for that - was a really interesting presentation that gives me  
some solutions to an upcoming project. It also prompted me to look into  
making the jump to postgresql (from mysql).

Interesting but knowing that Ruby 1.9 will be better on the multi-  
thread portion and knowing that Rails 2.3 is designed to work multi-  
threaded I’d be nervous in putting my project into the hand of a  
solution that will not work under those circonstances…

The Rails groups improved the ActiveRecord connections to handle pool  
of connections… seems to work fine for me right now… might want to  
look into it before locking yourself with postgresSQL. Yes, MySQL  
calls them databases but when looking at their purpose and usage they  
really are schemas in an Oracle and PostgresSQL sense.
