We are very interested in using Meteor in some of our upcoming web applications, but (as many others) we have existing PostgreSQL and MySQL databases that we need to interface with.

I see that someone has started work on integrating MySQL with Meteor, but I haven't been able to find anything for PostgreSQL.

As I understand it, a connector needs to be written - is there any documentation on this or are we just basically stuck sifting thru code and trying to wing it? ;)

boy that post is horribly hard to read: tiny faint gray text all of the same size (no headers, no nuthin').
@iconoclast it's markdown. copy, paste and render to html (or just use a gist).
Yes, and whoever published that seems to miss the point of markdown: it's for composing, not for displaying to users of your web site.

I have researched the subject. You can use PostgreSql in meteor in two ways. Using mongo as replicator or replacing mongo with postgresql. The packages are in mi repo:

I think, it's better to transform relation db to mongo.

While MongoDB does peak our interest, I think it is unpractical for several of our WebApps. And while not a MongoDB expert, that feeling is compounded by the number of people apparently jumping the MongoDB ship and sailing back to PostgreSQL or MySQL... Here are a couple of such posts... Simply check Google for an astonishing number more... link link
I have downvoted and will consider reversing it if you can do more than simply make a blanket request. If you are going to make such a blanket recommendation at least justify your answer quite a bit more.
@vixh: your avatar (as of the time I'm posting this) looks an awful lot like a swastika: I think you may want to change it to something different.
