Thanks Joao.
I don't really want to modify MySQL because of Ruby. If my web
application runs on a shared hosting and I don't have a so low level
access to MySQL, I am kind of screwed. Is there any plan for updating
ruby-mysql?
Regarding postgreSQL access modules, the latest releases were in 2003.
Is the ruby community really interested in DB access? How do you do guys?
I wish ruby was like python from this viewpoint... batteries included.
Access to databases is something so required, like string handling, it
must be included or at least very very easily installable. (for
postgres) 2003 and no other updates, jeez...
So, this is also my answer to the post "Best ways to accelerate Ruby's
popularity": make access to databases damn easy, at least for the main
one: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Firebird, SQLite, Oracle, Ms SQL Server,
etc...etc...
I am very discouraged. The python book is tempting me. :-(((
No flame, troll or whatsoever intended.
Thanks for any comment.
