Welcome to the postgresql-plruby wiki!

PL/Ruby is a loadable procedural language for the PostgreSQL databasesystem that enables the Ruby language to create functions and trigger procedures.

This project was started by Guy Decoux, but he passed away in 2008. So this repository was created as a place where the PL/Ruby users can cooperate and collaborate.

Prerequisite

• Ruby 1.8.6 or later (checked by 1.8.6, 2.2.x and 2.3.x)
• PostgreSQL 7.3 or later (checked by 9.5 and 9.6)
