[omaha] Which Relational Database!!

[Varun Mehta]

Thanks Jeff. Instagram with PostgreSQL is definitely a convincing reasoning.

Eli, Mysql C wrapper is definitely not working directly in current version of 3.4. A python alternative might not be a viable commercial solution.
But thank you for Google App engine which powers quite large apps.

So, now, i have a very interesting point for evaluation - Google App Engine with MySQL and Amazon EC2 with PostgreSQL.

And I agree Mike, it’s case by case basis. But i have no preference at the moment as i have to learn both and i am quite open with only consideration of reaping benefits of today’s effort in future. :)

But i still have an unanswered question:
Where i can check for libraries yet to be ported to Python 3.4?
Which is better for commercial solution - Python 2.x vs 3.x?

Thank you all once again for prompt and detailed. :)
