I think, when you say "should you do it?" you mean "should you make
your databases different?" which is the confusion, because you
clearly explain that it's better TO MAKE THE DATABASES AS SIMILAR AS
POSSIBLE (right?).
So actually, my question, which was "Should the types of databases for
development, testing, and production *all be the same*?" should get
the answer, "Yes, the databases should be the same," correct?

Bottom line: Although many Rails developers use different types of
databases for the three environments, it is best to use the same type
of database - e.g. MySql2 - for all three environments.

Sound good?
