Very cool. I’ve used HStore for a freelance project I did. It perfectly fit my needs. That HStore rails gem is awesome. The one thing you should be weary of is don’t just blindly execute the raw sql that the gem suggest you run to enable hstore. Look at the local hstore installation on your machine and run the sql from the hstore.sql file.
