[Sqlrelay-discussion] Question about SQLRelay and mysql

[Ashish M. <ash...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have been using mysql with perl for my Web applications and recently
started exploring SQLRelay for load-balancing and connection pooling. I
would like to pose couple of questions related to this -

1) For the purpose for which I am evaluating SQL Relay (load-balancing,
connection pooling, read/write splitting), which is the preferred option -
MySQL Proxy or SQLRelay? Is there any documented comparison of these? What
are the known advantages/disadvantages of picking one over the other?

2) I followed the documentation at
http://sqlrelay.sourceforge.net/sqlrelay/programming/perldbi.html to use
perl DBI with SQLRelay. However, DBD::SQLRelay does not seem to understand
what is passed to it and therefore does not work. Is there any documentation
of how I can get existing perl DBI code to work unchanged with SQLRelay?

Thanks,
Ashish
