Following on the heels of the DBI and DBD::Oracle patches, I figured getting mysql to work would be the next best step. Unfortunately I kept getting a glibc free() error, similar to the one here:
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.dbi.dev/2005/04/msg4039.html The problem is the imp_dbh contains a MYSQL structure, and part of this structure is pointers to other MYSQL structures - or, usually, back to the original structure. When you take the imp_data and put it into another SV, its address in memory changes, so anything pointing to this struct is going to break. The simplest thing I found was to change the MYSQL struct to a pointer. The other DBD drivers I've looked at all use a pointer or an opaque handle, so it should work. However, it feels like a pretty extensive patch just to support an experimental change. Try it out and let me know what you think. ** ** ** PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL ** ** ** This email transmission contains privileged and confidential information intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above.
