Subject: [ANN] postgres-pr (pure Ruby PostgreSQL)

Hi,

I'm proud to announce the first public "release" of postgres-pr. This is 
a library to access PostgreSQL from Ruby without the need of any C
library.

* You can use it only with newer 7.x databases that use wire-protocol 3.
* Lot's of stuff is missing, only the wire-protocol is quite complete.

Quick Example:

   > gem install postgres-pr
   > irb -r rubygems

Then in the interactive Ruby interpreter type (replace DBNAME and DBUSER
accordingly):

   require 'postgres-pr/connection'
   c = Connection.new('DBNAME', 'DBUSER')
   c.query('SELECT 1+2')                  # => [["3"]]

Regards,

   Michael
