<rant>I've got a better idea: use postgis and get rid of mysql and its quirks.
Yep, I just reinstalled an old app yesterday, and for some unfathomable reason it loses communication with mysql at some point (it worked perfectly for what, 6 years?). Gosh, I hate mysql.</rant>
- thibaut_barrere 16y agoHonest question: if it's unfathomable, what makes you think it's caused by mysql, rather than some system update, driver or app dependency issue ?
- wazoox 16y agoIt's a perl program running on Debian stable. Apparently it fails to communicate properly with mysql 5, but works fine with mysql 4. I assume the Debian dbd-mysql package to be compatible with the Debian mysql 5 server, so of course it could be Debian fault, or some error in the program. But I prefer to unjustly incriminate mysql because postgres is so much better anyway :)
