} postgres and ruby-postgres are the same project. all the gems for
} ruby-postgres are post 0.7.1 snapshots. I've been saying this for a
} while, but I intend to release a 0.8.0 release real soon now. I will
} probably release the most recent snapshot of the ruby-postgres gem as
} the 0.8.0 release, so it should be pretty functional. it contains
} many fixes and improvements over the postgres-0.7.1 gem. postgres-pr
} is a pure ruby extension, it doesn't rely on PostgreSQL's libpq client
} library. AFAIK, it's not as functional as the native extensions.
So I went with postgres-pr instead of asking this question, and now I'm
sorry I did. Would it mess things up to install the postgres/ruby-postgres
gem? How do I make sure I'm using the right one?
