pg

This is a JRuby gem replacement for ruby-pg. The gem should be a drop-in replacement for ruby-pg version 0.17.1. If you see any inconsistency please open an issue here.

Another JRuby Postgres adapter is jdbc-postgres. jruby-pg provides a few interfaces that jdbc-postgres doesn’t have. Most use cases don’t require those interfaces, specially if you are using ActiveRecord. Extra APIs in the pg & jruby-pg gem include:

Async API for querying
Large objects API
Bulk Copy API
Notification API

Documentation

For documentation please refair to the MRI pg gem docs which you can find here. The original ruby-pg project can be found here on github.

Build Status

Requirements

JRuby 1.7.1 or later (due to github.com/jruby/jruby/issues/411)
JRuby in 1.9 or 2.0 mode
json gem 1.7.7 or later (see github.com/flori/json/pull/152 and github.com/flori/json/pull/155)
Postgresql 7.4 or higher

The gem has been tested with the following:

JRuby 1.7.18
PostgreSQL 9.3.6

It may work with earlier versions of Ruby/PostgreSQL as well, but those are not regularly tested.

How To Install

NOTE: if you are installing jruby-pg to use it with rails you’ll have to install it using bundler.

Install via RubyGems:

gem install pg_jruby

Install via Bundler, in your gemfile add the following:

# Please note that Bundler version 1.0 is necessary to let bundler do its dependency management,
# as there is no .gemspec in the source.
gem 'pg', '0.17.1', :platform => :jruby, :git => 'git://github.com/headius/jruby-pg.git', :branch => :master

# comment the activerecord-jdbcsqlite3-adapter line
# gem 'activerecord-jdbcsqlite3-adapter'

Sample app
