Async MySQL driver for Ruby/EventMachine (c) 2008 Aman Gupta (tmm1)

Requires mysqlplus.

require 'em/mysql'

alias SQL for simpler syntax

SQL = EventedMysql def SQL(query, &blk) SQL.select(query, &blk) end

setup connection details and allow 4 connections to the server

SQL.settings.update :host => 'localhost', :port => 3306, :database => 'test', :connections => 4

use 4 connections to execute queries in parallel

SQL('select sleep(0.25)'){ p 'done' } SQL('select sleep(0.25)'){ p 'done' } SQL('select sleep(0.25)'){ p 'done' } SQL('select sleep(0.25)'){ p 'done' }

Also includes a sequel async wrapper

require 'sequel' require 'sequel/async'

DB = Sequel.connect(:adapter => 'mysql', :user => 'root', :database => 'test', ...) EventedMysql.settings.update(..., :on_error => proc{|e| log 'error', e })

DB[:table].where(:field => 'value').async_update(:field => 'new value')
