Yeah Google Cloud SQL's lack of Postgres support really stings. Would be great to see them branch out a bit.

I suppose they have more experience with MySQL given that Youtube runs on it...

It looks like it's pretty clear recently that Postgres support in some form from Google is coming - https://code.google.com/p/googlecloudsql/issues/detail?id=96

Umm... the only signal on that issue is that it got changed to "accepted" recently without any comment about ETA. I've seen issues sit in that state for quite some time, so that doesn't look all that encouraging or clear to me.

That said, thanks for the link; I've voted for it and will keep an eye out there for future updates.
