Security researchers report widespread abuse of OpenClaw skills to deliver info-stealing malware, exposing a new supply chain risk as agent ecosystems scale.
ruby-mysql
Advanced tools
ruby-mysql is a MySQL client library. It is written entirely in Ruby. Therefore libmysqlclient is not required and no compilation is required during installation.
gem install ruby-mysql
require 'mysql'
my = Mysql.connect('mysql://username:password@hostname:port/dbname?charset=utf8mb4')
my.query("select col1, col2 from tblname").each do |col1, col2|
p col1, col2
end
stmt = my.prepare('insert into tblname (col1,col2) values (?,?)')
stmt.execute 123, 'abc'

3.0:
pp my.query('select 123,123.45,now(),cast(now() as date)').fetch.map{[_1, _1.class]}
#=> [["123", String],
# ["123.45", String],
# ["2022-11-15 00:17:11", String],
# ["2022-11-15", String]]
4.0:
pp my.query('select 123,123.45,now(),cast(now() as date)').fetch.map{[_1, _1.class]}
#=> [[123, Integer],
# [0.12345e3, BigDecimal],
# [2022-11-15 00:17:17 +0900, Time],
# [#<Date: 2022-11-15 ((2459899j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>, Date]]
To specify cast: false, you get the same behavior as in 3.0.
my.query('select 123,123.45,now(),cast(now() as date)', cast: false).fetch.map{[_1, _1.class]}
#=> [["123", String],
# ["123.45", String],
# ["2022-11-15 00:19:18", String],
# ["2022-11-15", String]]
It can also be specified during Mysql.new and Mysql.connect.
my = Mysql.connect('mysql://user:pass@localhost/', cast: false)
Changing mysql.default_options will affect the behavior of subsequently created instances.
my1 = Mysql.connect('mysql://user:pass@localhost/')
Mysql.default_options[:cast] = false
my2 = Mysql.connect('mysql://user:pass@localhost/')
pp my1.query('select 123,123.45,now(),cast(now() as date)').fetch.map{[_1, _1.class]}
#=> [[123, Integer],
# [0.12345e3, BigDecimal],
# [2022-11-15 00:26:09 +0900, Time],
# [#<Date: 2022-11-15 ((2459899j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>, Date]]
pp my2.query('select 123,123.45,now(),cast(now() as date)').fetch.map{[_1, _1.class]}
#=> [["123", String],
# ["123.45", String],
# ["2022-11-15 00:26:09", String],
# ["2022-11-15", String]]
3.0:
res = my.query('select 123 union select 456')
res.entries
#=> [["123"], ["456"]]
res.entries
#=> []
4.0:
res = my.query('select 123 union select 456')
res.entries
#=> [[123], [456]]
res.entries
#=> [[123], [456]]
