We have also done some work extending the rails postgresql adapter for a legacy database. Specifically, to support postgresql DDL commands in ruby code. Currently it supports dumping and creating database functions, database trigger functions, user defined database types, and creating (not dumping by default) database views.
We created it as a monkey patch plugin for the rails schema_dumper and postgresql_adapter and it has worked nicely for us from Rails 1.2.6 to Rails 2.1.
