Subject: Re: Rails for the Rubyist

I was also under the impression that the quality of the Rails  
adapters was more or less directly connected with the underlying ruby  
library.  I also feel its pretty reasonable for a book designed to  
cover a framework, parts of a language, and a development methodology  
to limit its coverage on databases to the de facto standard "entry"  
database in the interest of brevity and remaining focused.  It  
shouldn't be hard to extrapolate the knowledge to other adapters.

(just because mysql seems to be the default doesn't mean its the best  
example, but it does mean that people choosing other adapters are  
much more likely to readily find and understand the knowledge they  
need to make theirs work)
