Subject: Re: Installing MySQL Module on Windows?

I briefly read into ActiveRecord and do not think it will suffice
given my scenerio.

As of now, I'm doing inserts into MySQL by using system("mysql -u x -p
x db -e "insert into asdf values ${asfd})

I just feel that this is hacky..  I even looked into odbc but that's
only usable w/ this mysql module :-\
