Hi Yariv -

A few questions for ya :)

Is the postgresql driver on par with the mysql driver at this time?  Reading
from your blog it seems Postgresql is not yet there.

Would ErlyDB be the DBI/DBD equivalent of the Erlang world?  The nice thing
about open source is that everyone can do what they want, but having a de
facto package for something like this is probably essential.

Is the live session data a cached data or actually the session table? I
think Mnesia would be great as a cache server (e.g. memcached), but haven't
thought through it, and if you have done so, would love to hear your take.

Thanks,
yc
