PLRuby

PLRuby is a loadable procedural language for the PostgreSQL database system that enables the Ruby language to create functions and trigger procedures.

Functions and triggers are singleton methods of the module PLtemp.

WARNING

if PLRuby was NOT compiled with —enable-conversion all arguments (to the function or the triggers) are passed as string values, except for NULL values represented by nil.

In this case, you must explicitely call a conversion function (like to_i) if you want to use an argument as an integer
