Pg is the Ruby interface to the PostgreSQL RDBMS.
It works with PostgreSQL 8.4 and later.
A small example usage:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby require 'pg' # Output a table of current connections to the DB conn = PG.connect( dbname: 'sales' ) conn.exec( "SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity" ) do |result| puts " PID | User | Query" result.each do |row| puts " %7d | %-16s | %s " % row.values_at('procpid', 'usename', 'current_query') end end

-
Ruby 1.9.3-p392, or 2.0.0-p0.
-
PostgreSQL 8.4.x or later (with headers, -dev packages, etc).
It may work with earlier versions of Ruby/PostgreSQL as well, but those are not regularly tested.
Install via RubyGems:
gem install pg
You may need to specify the path to the ‘pg_config’ program installed with Postgres:
gem install pg -- --with-pg-config=<path to pg_config>
If you’re installing via Bundler, you can provide compile hints like so:
bundle config build.pg --with-pg-config=<path to pg_config>
See README-OS_X.rdoc for more information about installing under MacOS X, and README-Windows.rdoc for Windows build/installation instructions.
There’s also a Google+ group and a mailing list if you get stuck, or just want to chat about something.
To report bugs, suggest features, or check out the source with Mercurial, check out the project page. If you prefer Git, there’s also a Github mirror.
After checking out the source, run:
$ rake newb
This task will install any missing dependencies, run the tests/specs, and generate the API documentation.
