[ale] Switching a production news site to postgresql

[Jeff Hubbs]

The way that I've come to understand it is a little bit analogous to the 
RISC/CISC concept of the early 1990s. For certain use cases in code, it 
*may* be more efficient to use a noSQL app than an RDBMS. Historically, 
I've written code with the idea of letting RDBMSses do the heavy 
lifting, but perhaps the approach to use today is to game out your app 
in good faith both with a noSQL backend and an RDBMS backend and see if 
there are huge benefits to be had with one versus the other.

It may make a difference depending on what's going on in the larger 
environment: is your data store backend being hit by more than one app 
at once and how does that affect your determination re the above.
