The MySQL choice is mostly because I was trying to make the tutorial 
something resembling "how perform using Ur/Web some task that I might 
perform using PHP or Ruby on Rails?", and with both of those 
environments, MySQL is the de facto standard (for good for for bad).  If 
anyone figures out the correct parameters necessary to make Postgres 
work with the existing tutorial application, I'd be happy to add those.

I would hasten to add that the entire tutorial is in GitHub, and I would 
gladly accept changes that might make things easier to follow :)  Now 
that Adam has started constructing an "official" tutorial, it might make 
sense for me to rename the "unofficial" one to something like "Creating 
a blog with Ur/Web" to avoid any future confusion ;)
