Important notes on MySQL support

Security warning

Be sure to first read and understand the security implications of LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE. In particular, having this enabled on a web app is probably not a good idea.

v0.9.5

v0.9.5 will always use LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE for bulk load - this is not configurable.

v1.0.0.rc1

This version should by default use LOAD DATA INFILE for safer defaults.

You can override this by passing :local_infile => true though.

Troubleshooting LOCAL INFILE

If you enable :local_infile => true and meet the following error, then you'll have to work it around.

Notes on SQLServer support

v0.9.5 had a broken support for SQLServer.

v1.0.0.rc1 has a work-in-progress bulk import using freebcp. More tweaking needed.

Running the tests

You may have to tweak the Rakefile and database.yml a bit, but roughly:

rake ci:create_db
rake "ci:run_one[mysql2,test/config/gemfiles/Gemfile.rails-3.2.x]"

You can also run a matrix of tests using:

rake ci:run_matrix
