Here are some other options to consider:

1. use the ruby mysql API directly, as described in those tutorials 
which had 'require "mysql"'.

dbi is just a layer which sits on top of this, attempting to give a 
consistent API to different types of database. So your code would end up 
being tied to mysql, but then again, the SQL dialect varies between 
databases too.

2. Use a more ruby-flavoured SQL layer such as Sequel.

3. Use a full-blown Object-Relational Mapping layer such as ActiveRecord 
or DataMapper.
