A Ruby gem that extends ActiveRecord with additional PostgreSQL-specific query capabilities such as array predicates, inet/IP matching, CTEs, JSON/JSONB builders, unions, and window functions. It is the maintained successor to the postgres_ext gem, targeting modern Rails/ActiveRecord versions.

Use cases

• query postgres b columns from rails activerecord
• write common table expressions in activerecord
• use postgres array any/all/contains operators in rails queries
• perform union and intersect queries with activerecord
• use postgres window functions in rails
• match ip addresses against inet columns in activerecord
• combine scopes with any_of/none_of conditions

When to choose

• you use Rails with PostgreSQL and need advanced SQL features ActiveRecord lacks
• you want CTEs, unions, or window functions without writing raw SQL strings
• you need b query helpers in your ORM layer

When to avoid

• your application does not use PostgreSQL
• you are on an old Rails version unsupported by the gem
• you prefer writing raw SQL or use a non-ActiveRecord ORM
