Mysql2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mysql2 is a modern, simple and very fast Mysql library for Ruby - binding to
|
||
|
|
libmysql.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Mysql2 gem is meant to serve the extremely common use-case of connecting,
|
||
|
|
querying and iterating on results. Some database libraries out there serve as
|
||
|
|
direct 1:1 mappings of the already complex C API's available. This one is
|
||
|
|
not.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It also forces the use of UTF-8 (or binary) for the connection (and all
|
||
|
|
strings in 1.9, unless Encoding.default_internal is set then it'll convert
|
||
|
|
from UTF-8 to that encoding) and uses encoding-aware MySQL API calls where it
|
||
|
|
can.
