In very simple terms, they both do the same things, but the latter is newer and
better and faster, and compatible with newer versions of Ruby (and Rails). I
think maybe there may be versions of MySQL that are too new for the mysql gem,
too, but that''s just a guess. Unless you are using Rails 2 under Ruby
1.8.6, I doubt very much that you will need the mysql gem these days, in favor
of mysql2.
