Postgresql question

ruby-talk
1

I’m brand new to using postgresql. I’m real familiar with M$ sqlserver and
I use Ruby and ado quite a bit. However, I’m looking at Postgresql now and
have examined the dbi modules that come with the windows installer. I can’t
seem to find any examples (simple ones are fine) for connecting to a
postgresql database and making a query. I’ve been up at the ruby-talk
archives and can’t find something really straight forward. Does a
documentation file exist for dbi and postgresql?
Does documenttion for dbi exist? Where can I find them?

Thanks in advance,

Ernie

There’s little documentation about DBI on http://ruby-dbi.sourceforge.net/
(see the example at the end of the page as well as the Documentation section).

This one is also a very good article about Ruby/DBI:

http://www.kitebird.com/articles/ruby-dbi.html

You can find further information about Ruby/DBI (a whole chapter) in the book
Ruby Developers Guide.

Grab the source tarball from raa, then look at the doc/ and examples/
subdirectories.
