ruby-pg

With the news of RubyForge's changing role, I'm taking this opportunity to move all ruby-pg development to Bitbucket. I've taken over primary support of the 'pg' library from Jeff Davis, who will remain associated with the project to give me advice ... [More] and tell me when I'm doing something silly. I've moved over all existing bug reports, patches, and other tracker artifacts, converted the repo to Mercurial and imported it, and posted archives of the Subversion repo, and a gem and tarball for the last versions of the old 'ruby-postgres' library. For all your future bug-tracking, patching, cloning, and browsing needs, see: http://bitbucket.org/ged/ruby-pg/ Thanks, Michael Granger [Less]

This project is looking for people who can help improve windows portability. No unix-specific libraries are used, all the problems are related to the C extension build process. Please contact the project if you have a little time to help out!

I have committed some changes to both ruby-pg (the new module) and ruby-postgres (the old module) so that it would be easy for ActiveRecord to support them both. Now I have submitted a patch ( http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/10948 ) to ... [More] ActiveRecord that passes "rake test_postgresql" for both modules. Note: the patch has not been applied to ActiveRecord yet, so I'm waiting on that. The gem for ruby-pg is named "pg" and the gem for the older ruby-postgres is "postgres". The easiest way to install is: # gem install --remote pg [Less]

I split the modules 'postgres' and 'pg' into two separate parts of the SVN repository, and will release them as separate gems. 'pg' is the newer module, which is a much better design. It's encouraged for use when an ActiveRecord adapter is not ... [More] required (an AR adapter is coming soon though). Install with "gem install --remote ruby-pg". 'postgres' is the prefered module for existing applications that depend on ActiveRecord right now. Install with "gem install --remote postgres". [Less]

This latest release offers Ruby 1.9 support for both the 'pg' and 'postgres' modules, and many improvements. The new 'pg' module has been substantially improved and stabilized. The API still is not set in stone, so I'd like to get some feedback ... [More] so that I can make any changes before the API must be solidified. The RDoc comments have been updated, so the module should be easy to use. [Less]

Ruby-pg is now the official home of the "postgres" gem. Please report any problems. This gem contains some important fixes, including the ability to build against PostgreSQL 8.3.

I have begun ruby-pg, the fork of the ruby-postgres project. I am receiving a lot of great feedback: people with ideas, people with patches, or people just saying that they are happy to see that someone is improving the interface between the world's best programming language and the world's best database!
