MySQL/Ruby

[Japanese]

This is the MySQL API module for Ruby. It provides the same functions for Ruby programs that the MySQL C API provides for C programs.

Download

tmtm.org

Requirement

MySQL 4.0.22/4.1.13/5.0.11
Ruby 1.8.2

The module may work for other versions, but that has not been verified.

License

This program is under Ruby's license.

Install

1st:

% ruby extconf.rb

% ruby extconf.rb --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql

% ruby extconf.rb --with-mysql-config

then

% make

extconf.rb has following options:

--with-mysql-include=dir: MySQL header file directory. Default is /usr/local/include.
--with-mysql-lib=dir: MySQL library directory. Default is /usr/local/lib.
--with-mysql-dir=dir: Same as --with-mysql-include=dir/include, --with-mysql-lib=dir/lib.
--with-mysql-config[=/path/to/mysql_config]: Get compile-parameter from mysql_config command.

2nd:

% ruby ./test.rb [hostname [user [passwd [dbname [port [socket [flag]]]]]]]

3rd:

# make install

Note

If you get error like 'libmysqlclient not found' when testing, you need to specify the directory in which the library is located so that make can find it.

% env LD_RUN_PATH=libmysqlclient.so directory make

Usage

The names of methods provided by this module basically are the same as the names of the functions in the C API, except that the Ruby method names do not begin with a 'mysql_' prefix. For example, the Ruby query() method corresponds to the C API mysql_query() function. For details on the use of each Ruby method, see the descriptions of the corresponding C functions in the MySQL Reference Manual.

Some Ruby methods may be invoked under other names that serve as equivalent aliases, as noted below.

If an error occurs when a method executes, it raises a Mysql::Error exception.
