I didn't have a great deal of luck in my initial efforts to reach out. It seems like Oracle/MySQL have lost a lot of interested in DBD::mysql (hence my post about this a couple of months back). Wait. That thread was about your belief that Oracle was trying to distance itself from DBD::mysql or discourage its development. Which it is not. It's simply that DBD::mysql is not an Oracle product. Oracle is not responsible to fix DBD::mysql bugs. That said, if your next statement is correct, that'd be great. > However, it does appear that some activity has come back. I'm not sure if anyone looked at my patch, but I have since realised that there was a lot more amiss. DBD::mysql really needs to be updated for proper MySQL *5* support. > > I was talking to Peter about extra hacking sessions at our last Perl meet. I'll make sure this is on the agenda.
