Ruby Postgres Adapter Issue

fyi…

i’m working through the o’reilly cookbook tutorial using migrations and
postgresql.

i’m using this pgsql adapter for winxp…

http://www.vandomburg.net/pages/postgres-ruby-windows

i’m using edge rails with the latest svn version.

i experienced some unexpected behavior.

whenever i display a text column in the edit screen, it adds 4 spaces
before displaying the text. it then creates a return and 2 more
spaces. if i update again, i get more pre spaces (total: 8) and an
additional second return with 2 more spaces. this behavior will
repeat.

the extra spaces are added into the database, too.

i emailed the author of the software - i think i did, anyway. he
doesn’t have his email address on the site and i used his first name @
domain name as the address.

my code (copy and pasted) was actually inserting this extra
information. the adapter isn’t the issue. sorry for the false alarm
here.
