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 ;) Will Spooner wrote: > 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; > > http://www.ensembl.org/info/about/ensembl_powered.html > > We can work round the problem in most cases by downgrading to a local > copy of DBD-mysql-2.9.
