Allow to use Postgres

[lubieniebieski]

hey I use postgres db a lot and I think it is generally a very popular DB for Rails usage. I've made a few additions to make it possible to install this database in an easy way by using your config and making it more general (see app_db_password variable for instance).

What do you think about it - is it something worth considering?

I'm experiencing problems while using mysql (mysql2 adapter/gem) with the "encoding: unicode", why did you change it from utf8 to unicode?

@lubieniebieski any updates on this? :)

hi sorry, I've just become a father again and I was away from the code:)

anyway, I thought that this should be pretty much the same, but the doc says that the defaults are:
unicode for postgres and utf8 for mysql2.

However, I've checked it on my local project (postgres) and it works fine with utf8 encoding.

My suggestion is to bring back the utf8 setting and leave it there.
