I am pleased to announce the availability of a new MySQL driver. Mysqlplus. The driver builds on the original MySQL C extension but adds two important features 1 - Asynchronous command processing support 2 - Threaded access support (a nice side effect of feature #1) The driver was being developed as part of the <a href="http://www.espace.com.eg/neverblock">NeverBlock</a> library but it was spun off to live on its own so all Ruby (and Rails) developers can try it out Hopefully we will be able to integrate this with the original driver to prevent fragmentation. For now you can install it from <a href="http://github/espace/mysqlplus">githb</a> The /test folder includes usage examples for threaded and evented access. This should be of interest to Rails/MySQL users as it will enable this combo to benefit from the new thread safety feature in Rails 2.2 Read about it <a href="http://www.espace.com.eg/neverblock/blog/2008/08/28/neverblock-mysql-support/">here</a> and <a href="http://oldmoe.blogspot.com/2008/08/neverblock-mysql-and-mysqlplus.html">here</a> regards, Muhammad A.
