Hi Patrick,
Thanks for the rapid response. We await the next release with baited
breath ;)

Hi!
I need to get this patch in, and apologise for not doing so sooner. I've been
swamped with work on other projects within mysql, and even have a patch of
mine that I wish to get in there... not to mention a patch for multiple
result sets my comaintainer, Alexey Stroganov, has sent me!
When it rains, it pours!
Thank you for your kind words,
Patrick
ps. CC-ing the list so people know I know that they know that I need to get a
release out soon ;)

Hi Patrick,
Just to add weight to this issue; it also causes problems for projects that
are based on the Ensembl code, including the two that I work on (Gramene,
www.gramene.org, and MaizeSequence, www.maizeseqeunce.org), and a host of
others listed here;

We can work round the problem in most cases by downgrading to a local copy
of DBD-mysql-2.9. This solution, however, is unsuitable for large
multi-node compute clusters that we use for generating our data.
Many thanks for your efforts; DBD::mysql is almost always fantastic!

Hi Patrick
I work on the open-source bioinformatics project Ensembl,
http://www.ensembl.org/ . The project is built on Perl and MySQL and
as you would expect we make heavy use of DBD::mysql.
We've had reports from some users of problems with storing negative
numbers; it looks like they are describing this bug:
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18976
The comments on the RT report would suggest that the patch that
MSCHILLI submitted made it in to 3.0008, but this doesn't seem to be
the case (I can provide a test script if necessary).
Do you know if the patch will make it in to the next release of
DBD::mysql? The bug in question is causing considerable problems for
us. If we can be of any assistance, or provide more information,
please let me know.
Regards
Glenn.
