• github.com/adacosta/labilerecord

• Simple data access for dynamic data sets through postgres with ruby

• Access data by row.column

• Access field types

• Access types which ActiveRecord won’t (e.g. _int4)

• Easy to use on tables, views, and functions

• Fast - no ruby type conversion on values from connection adapter

• Simple sql generation for data copy using Query.to_insert_sql

require 'rubygems'
require 'labilerecord'

LabileRecord::Base.connection = { :dbname => 'postgres', 
                                  :user => user, 
                                  :pass => pass, 
                                  :host => host, 
                                  :port => port}

databases = LabileRecord::Query.new("SELECT * FROM pg_database")
# execute the query
databases.exec!
# inspect rows
puts databases.inspect
# inspect fields (columns)
puts databases.fields.inspect
# inspect specific row and column of data set
# datname - being a column returned by the query
puts databases[0].datname
