requires a pg server, no one want a pg test database for each project on its laptop
sqlite3 does a pretty good job for test and even for more
for development, it is more a practical and habit matter
hey, that's cool but you are not testing on the real database, we might have production bugs we could have detected
if I want to test production, I use RAILS_ENV=production...
and it is the real stuff, not only database, test and development envs are a hack : code is not the same
if I have bugs with this process, I change it ( not have done for 5 years of rails )
