DBI is generally an easy way.

You have to
gem install mysql
gem install dbd-mysql
gem install dbi
before using it.

HTH.

Hi,

On Trying, " gem install mysql " , i get the following error:

C:\Documents and Settings\user1\Desktop>gem install mysql
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing mysql:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

D:/Softwares/ruby/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb
checking for main() in libmysql.lib... no
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for mo
details.

Thanks

Well, you have to install mysql client before all the operation.
There have to be:

/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.a
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so

in my Linux OS.

That's certainly an interesting observation.
