Re: BUG IN DBD::mysql

Hello, Walery,

I understand that you do not like the change, in fact I have argued against
the change in one of the threads cited in the documents below, because it
was obviously introducing incompatibilities with existing code.

However, if you did follow your own links provided below, you'd know that I
am no longer maintaining the module. In other words, you have to convince
Rudy Lippan, the current module maintainer or perhaps the mailing list
perl@lists.mysql.com.


Sorry,

Jochen
