Re: [jruby-user] [ANN] ruby-pg for JRuby

good question. there are two advantages that i can think of, first is
asynchronous io and second is that jruby-pg is a drop in replacement for
the ruby-pg gem. also afaik the jdbc interface of postgresql has some
limitations regarding large object api and others that i don't remember off
the top of my head. granted this isn't something that everyone needs,
especially new projects, but it was a blocker to switch to jruby for some
teams in the past.

cheers,
