The best place for this question would be:

As for your question the postgres gem is a bit faster than ruby-pg I
believe.  However installing it in Windows takes a mild amount of effort.

Configuring database.yml is simple too.  Your adapter will be postgresql the
rest is pretty self-explanatory, username is the name of a database user
that can access that particular database and the password is that users
password in the DBMS.
