Hi, Ruby/MySQL is from the same author of mysql-ruby. The difference is that ruby-mysql is in PURE ruby. I have no problem at all using it on XP. Very convenient. Take a look at its home page: http://www.tmtm.org/en/ruby/mysql/README_en.html Shannon >From: Ralph Smith <ralph / lkjlkj.com> >Reply-To: ruby-talk / ruby-lang.org >To: ruby-talk / ruby-lang.org (ruby-talk ML) >Subject: mysql & ruby on windows? >Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2005 09:46:58 +0900 > >The only instructions for getting ruby to access mysql that I've been able >to find seem to be >oriented to non-windows os's.
