RailsOnPg released

Hello fellow PostgreSQL and Ruby on Rails geeks,
Alexander Tretyakov (twitter) recently released a plugin for Ruby on Rails, which extends migrations and provides you with the ability to create.
While you can already do something like this with execute in your migrations:
execute("CREATE VIEW my_tasty_snacks AS SELECT * FROM snacks WHERE food = 'Tasty';")With RailsOnPage, you’re provided a DSL so that you can do the following:
create_view :my_tasy_snacks do |view|
view.select '*'
view.from 'snacks'
view.conditions 'food' => 'Tasty'
endnote: I haven’t tested the above, just a hypothetical example
Anyhow, if you’re in the habit of using views, functions, or triggers with your PostgreSQL database and are using Ruby on Rails, you might give RailsOnPg a whirl.

Gotta say, I still prefer writing the SQL for the create table/view/function/trigger.
