SynchronizePostgresStoredProcedures

Don't want to track down multiple versions of a stored procedure across multiple migrations to find the current source? Want to just edit a file and have the stored procedure (or function) be automatically updated in your database as part of the db:migrate step? Then this gem is for you.

Given a directory of stored procedures, it will add, update, and drop the sp's in the database to match the directory on disk.

The rules are simple:

• install the gem as directed below
• put each stored procedure in it's own file (see below for example) in the db/sp directory.
• all your stored procedures must start with the name 'sp_'. This is to prevent conflict with existing postgres stored procedures.
• the stored procedures will be installed alphabetically, so if you have one sp that depends on another sp, be sure the other sp comes first alphabetically.

Say you have this function, called 'sp_unaccent', as below:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION sp_unaccent(text)
  RETURNS text AS
$func$
SELECT public.unaccent('public.unaccent', $1)  -- schema-qualify function and dictionary. Modifies public version to be IMMUTABLE so it can be indexed.
$func$  LANGUAGE sql IMMUTABLE;

Place that text in the file db/sp/sp_unaccent.sql, and this gem will ensure that the sp is up to date in any database that the migrations are applied to.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'synchronize_postgres_stored_procedures'

Execute

 bundle install

Run 'rake db:migrate' as usual, the gem will automatically be invoked.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. To run the tests:

createdb synchronize_postgres_stored_procedures_test
bundle exec rake spec

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
