Awesome! What’s the Ruby version compatibility on this?
@PeterCooper: seems to work on both MRI 1.8 and 1.9.
That said, multi-threaded access is only possible if you use it with Mysql#socket and Kernel#select. If you use Mysql#query then it will block all MRI 1.8 userspace threads just like the “old” mysql driver. If you use Mysql#socket with Kernel#select, then MRI 1.8 will be able to use its own internal non-blocking I/O implementation to make sure that threads can still be scheduled.
A new method (async_query) is provided so you don’t need to deal with socket and select and still benefit from multithreading
