activerecord-mysql-adapter-flags

MysqlAdapter patch to allow passing driver flags from config/database.yml.

Why

Needed to enable mysql driver compression for a few projects. The default MysqlAdapter shipped with Rails doesn’t allow for flags. Therefore, this is a simple patch to allow Mysql::CONST’s to be defined in the database.yml file.

Example

config/database.yml

development:
  adapter: mysql
  username: dbuser
  password: "secert"
  host: localhost
  database: test
  flags: "CLIENT_MULTI_RESULTS, CLIENT_COMPRESS"

Note: the flags get OR’d together before passing onto the connect method. If the flag const doesn’t exist in the Mysql class, it will be ignored.

TODO’s

  • write some specs

  • test against more versions of ActiveRecord

  • find cleaner way to implement other than opening the class and overriding custom initializer.

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

  • Fork the project.

  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.

  • Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

  • Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

  • Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
