no postgresql on dreamhost

It is sad indeed. No postgres on dreamhost. They provide mysql of course (most webhosts do).

I have sworn off mysql for good, if I can help it. I have been considering migrating this blog over to my dreamhost account lately, and this has been a consideration point for me.

I think I will try out sqlite. Typo supports sqlite quite well, from what I understand. I will, of course, have to migrate the data from postgres into sqlite.

There is an upside though. Backups from here on out will require nothing more than a simple file copy! Yay!

It will give me a chance to work with sqlite a bit as well. I have been meaning to take a look at it for some time now, but have not gotten around to it until now.
