MYSQLSafe

MYSQLSafe

MYSQLSafe abstracts some common MYSQL connection and query actions Specifically it

• Ensures connection closure
• Returns an Array (instead of MYSQL object)
• Rescues and prints errors
• Sanitizes input
• Encodes queries
• Encloses table and column names in backticks (like this.that)

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'MYSQLSafe'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install MYSQLSafe

Usage

MYSQLSafe allows you to optionally set

• host

• database

• user

• password

• encoding

    safe_sql_connect = MYSQLSafe::Base.new()
    safe_sql_connect.user = 'username'
    safe_sql_connect.host = 'myhost'
    safe_sql_connect.password = ENV['MYSQLPASSWORD']
    safe_sql_connect.database = 'databasename'
    safe_sql_connect.encoding = 'iso-8859-1' # otherwise defaults to 'utf-8'
  

MYSQLSafe has one other public function which allows you to pass a MYSQL query

	safe_sql_connect.connect_safe("SELECT * FROM tablename LIMIT 1;")

And it returns an Array

	#=> [["1", "Sam", "Areas Of My Expertise"], ["2", "Caz", "1Q84"], ["3", "Kyle", "How I Became A Famous Novelist"]]
