I've seen a few posts here with people using Postgres over MySQL. Anyone using the latest CVS for such a setup?

Yes, I'm using it right now. Somethings, like cache, don't work well with postgres, but it has to do with programming issues (RC tries to insert a value that is to big for the field definition, while MySQL just truncates the value).

There was another DB error if I recall related to a bad comparision in the where clause (something like comparing an integer with a boolean).

The real problem is that MySQL does really strange things with values that don't fit the field definition (for example, inserting NULLs in a NOT NULL field). In all those cases, PG will give an error, which is the correct thing to do.

How about a migration from MySQL to Postgres? Looks very straightforward, but I figured why not ask first just in case.

Never had to do that. :-)
