== MySQLPlus An enhanced MySQL database driver. With support for async operations and threaded database access. == Building gem build mysqlplus.gemspec on OSX with the default mysql installed: sudo gem install mysqlplus-0.1.0.gem -- --with-mysql-config on OSX, with mysql installed by macports: sudo gem install mysqlplus-0.1.0.gem -- --with-mysql-config=/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql_config on OSX, with mysql installed by homebrew: sudo gem install mysqlplus -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.1.51/bin/mysql_config on OSX, with x86 mysql (NOT x86_64!) installed from mysql.com: sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install mysqlplus-0.1.0.gem -- \ --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql \ --with-mysql-lib=/usr/local/mysql/lib \ --with-mysql-include=/usr/local/mysql/include == Using to use within rails add require 'mysqlplus' to the top of environment.rb this instantiates the Mysql class that you can use. and it will automagically use async_query instead of query, so it's a drop in replacement. Same with other scripts that want to use it--just require 'mysqlplus' BEFORE you require 'mysql' and it will load the asynchronous version, then ignore the sequent require 'mysql' call. == Other helpful mysql utilities: slim attributes http://slim-attributes.rubyforge.org/ boosts mysql speed by using arrays instead of hashed lookup. Hash extension gem also results in speedups when used: http://blog.chak.org/2008/02/09/speeding-up-activerecord-with-hashes-take-2/ === Credits Aman Gupta, for help in threading support and improved tests Tomita Masahiro--since this is a fork of his already excellent mysql lib [http://www.tmtm.org/en/mysql/ruby].
