Mysql & ruby 1.6.7 (2002-03-01) [i586-mswin32]

Hello All,

I want to use ruby in conjunction with mysql -
without compiling anything.

I have installed ruby windows distribution version
ruby 1.6.7 (2002-03-01) [i586-mswin32].

Mysql version is 3.22.34, but I can go higher.

Is there a possibility to take binaries together
for a functioning system?

Which ruby components/extensions do I need?
Where do I get the necessary ruby components?
How to install them?

Any experience and hint is very welcome.

Thanx and best wishes,
Juergen

Hello!

I’ve got no experience with Windows, but I know you can get a binary modules
for Windows at Masahiro’s HP. Try http://www.tmtm.org/mysql/ruby/ (of course
it’s japanese, but the name of the files are in english).

If you need just mysql and are not planning (or foreseeing) a change in the
database engine, you can use just Masahiro’s modules. But I strongly advise
you to use it in conjunction with Ruby/DBI. So that, in the future, if you
decide to change database, you need just to change the base module; the
top-layer remains the same. You can find Ruby/DBI at http://ruby-dbi.sf.net/
And you need not to compile it, for MySQL it’s 100% Ruby code.

Thanx Pablo!

Using your hints, I realized that my distribution allows it all.
I just didn’t know how to exploit it.

Your hints made me find everything needed on the net and in the distribution.
