 Hi, I'm Ruby interface maintner(not authors) for PostgreSQL.

 First of all I introduce Ruby.

 What's Ruby ? : I cite it from official site of Ruby.

 Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and
easy object-oriented programming. It has may features to
process text files and to do system management tasks
(as in Perl). It is simple straight-forward, extensible,
and portable.

 Please, see this for detail (Ruby Official site):
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/

 If you wanted to know brief description, this may be useful :

 I return a talk to Ruby interface for PostgreSQL.

 This library is copyrighted by its authors;
Yukihiro Matsumoto (Ruby ahthor), and Eiji Matsumoto.

 Ruby interface for PostgreSQL : 
http://webclub.kcom.ne.jp/mb/noborus/postgres/index.html

 Current version is available with 0.6.1 at :
http://webclub.kcom.ne.jp/mb/noborus/archive/

For example:
--------------------
require "postgres"
conn = PGconn.connect("localhost", 5432, "", "", "test1")
res = conn.exec("SELECT * FROM table;")
print res.result
--------------------

 It is very easily usable and thinks that it is excellent
interface.

 I hope for PostgreSQL tarball including it, With Perl and
Python in the same way!
 I want you to write it with document at least.

Thanks.
