Nope, AR works just fine with Pg. From what I 've heard DHH develops
primarily on Mysql, here at Navel we primarily use Pg. Because we love
Pg we plan to introduce some Pg-specific features in the near future though.

AR is a GREAT product, Og 'reuses' MANY of the ideas first introduced
in AR. There is a difference in the approach: AR maps the database 
schema to (some form of) Ruby objects, Og generates the Database schema 
that maps to standard Ruby objects. Give it a try :)
