PL/Ruby enables Ruby as a procedural language in PostgreSQL

PL/Ruby is a PostgreSQL extension that lets Ruby code run inside the database. It enables developers to write functions, triggers, and SPI calls in Ruby. The extension integrates Ruby’s interpreter with PostgreSQL’s procedural language framework. Source code and installation instructions are available on GitHub. PL/Ruby aims to simplify writing database logic for teams familiar with Ruby. The project supports standard PostgreSQL features such as transaction handling. Users can create Ruby‑based stored procedures to extend database functionality. Ongoing development may expand compatibility with newer PostgreSQL versions.
