Hello List,

I came to this list because of the Erlang mysql driver. In my current
project, I need to connect to a MySQL database (several actually),
running version 5.1.
Development is on MacOSX, deployment is on Linux.

I understood that the erlang-mysql-driver found in google code
(revamped mysql driver) is used by ErlyWeb.
If this is correct, does this mean it is a "safe" way of connecting to
MySQL from Erlang, even when not using ErlyWeb? By "safe" I mean, is
this code evolving with ErlyWeb or is it a "dead end" (just an
experiment or something equivalent)?
From my small test, it works fine so I am eager to use it. The other
two alternatives would be ODBC or the "original" driver I found at
ProcessOne.
ODBC does not make much sens if there is a native driver available.
The driver at ProcessOne seems used for ejabberd but seems to lack
some features added by Yariv.

Any info appreciated !

Alexander

This driver is "safe" in the sense that it's used by ErlyWeb so
whenever an ErlyWeb app needs a feature or a bug fix it will be
applied to this driver. However, this driver has been stable for a
while except for a few patches here and I think it should work well
for you. If you find some issue, you have the source code, which is
not that big, so it shouldn't be that hard to fix.

Thanks a lot, that's really want I wanted to hear Smile

I can therefore go forward integrating MySQL with my Erlang app.
