I enjoy coding in Python and do so whenever I can. Recently, I've also done a couple of small projects using Django. I hope to do more. In the IRLs, I'm working to convert my employer's internal applications from VB6 (boo) to Python (yay) or to Java (when I'm building on previous conversion efforts). These are strictly desktop applications for now - ultimately, I would like to replace all the disparate internal desktop business apps with a modular collection of web apps with access to a unified database. Coming from a previous employer with 90,000+ people, I consider myself very lucky to work in an environment where as a programmer this is my choice to make.
In my spare time, I'm also a part-time computer science grad student. My educational background is in finance so I'm working through the transition from lifelong programming hobbyist to computer scientist as best I can. There are hiccups along the way.

Using MongoDB and PostgreSQL together To potential answerers: please feel free to provide an answer! As this question has survived fairly long without a "perfect" answer, however, I intend to answer the question with a full postmortem of the experience once we've implemented and moved to production. It might be a year in the future, but don't worry - OP will deliver. I expect that is what those who have favorited/upvoted this particular question would find most useful: verification that it works or an explanation of what roadblocks killed the side-by-side option. |

Using MongoDB and PostgreSQL together These are all great suggestions. I had mentioned using hstore/json before (and had silently discounted xml, because, well, xml) but I hadn't thought of using them in the way you recommend. On top of all this, the Postgres 2 phase commit suggestion is gold. I'd had no idea this existed. Thanks for the great suggestions. |

Phantom Table in MySQL It is, but it shows up in the omitted portions [... columns on widget_signups ...] as widget_signup.widget_date |

ANSI/ISO plans for LIMIT standardization? Ahh, very cool. I liked the LIMIT keyword keyword from MySQL and PSQL but I'm not married to it and it will be a relief to have m queries working in a cross RDBMS way. |
