I can't speak for MySQL, but I've been using DBI with a PostgreSQL 
database for a project with simple database needs, and after the initial 
setup it has been fairly low-hassle to use. If I had to talk to a MySQL 
database at this point I'd try DBI first, but that's just me, and it 
could be bad advice.

As a point of reference, I'm using DBI 0.4.5 with Ruby 1.9.2 p136 at 
present on this project.

I hope this is of some use.

Cheers,
Garth
