Find a needle (a document or record) in a haystack using string similarity and (optionally) regular expression rules. Uses Dice's Coefficient (aka Pair Similiarity) and Levenshtein Distance internally.

Ruby

668

upsert

Upsert on MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite3. Transparently creates functions (UDF) for MySQL and PostgreSQL; on SQLite3, uses INSERT OR IGNORE.

Ruby

652

data_miner

Download, unpack from a ZIP/TAR/GZ/BZ2 archive, parse, correct, convert units and import Google Spreadsheets, XLS, ODS, XML, CSV, HTML, etc. into your ActiveRecord models. Uses RemoteTable gem internally.

Ruby

301

unix_utils

Like FileUtils, but provides zip, unzip, bzip2, bunzip2, tar, untar, sed, du, md5sum, shasum, cut, head, tail, wc, unix2dos, dos2unix, iconv, curl, perl, etc.

Ruby

136

lock_and_cache

Most caching libraries don't do locking, meaning that >1 process can be calculating a cached value at the same time. Since you presumably cache things because they cost CPU, database reads, or money, doesn't it make sense to lock while caching?

Ruby

134

Gives you binaries like mysql2csv, mysql2json, and mysql2xml, and Ruby classes to match.

Ruby

cache

A (better?) replacement for open-uri. Lets you open local and remote files by immediately returning their contents as a string.

Ruby

Python library to make it easy to upsert on MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite3.

Python

DSL for creating clean CSV, XLSX, and PDF reports in Ruby. Uses xlsx_writer, prawn and pdftk internally.

Ruby

database_url

Convert back and forth between Heroku-style ENV['DATABASE_URL'] and Rails/ActiveRecord-style config/database.yml hashes.

For PostGIS/PostgreSQL and ActiveRecord, provides "the_geom_geojson" getter and setter that update "the_geom" and "the_geom_webmercator" columns.
