Pg is the Ruby interface to the {PostgreSQL RDBMS}[http://www.postgresql.org/].

It works with {PostgreSQL 8.4 and later}[http://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/].

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

== v0.17.0 [2013-09-15] Michael Granger <ged@FaerieMUD.org>

Bugfixes:

- Fix crash by calling PQsend* and PQisBusy without GVL (#171).

Enhancements:

- Add method PG::Connection#copy_data.
- Add a Gemfile to allow installation of dependencies with bundler.
- Add compatibility with rake-compiler-dev-box.
- Return self from PG::Result#check instead of nil. This allows
  to stack method calls.
