# 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 4.1.15/5.0.16
- Ruby 1.8.4

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

or

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

or

    % 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.

## Mysql class
