= activerecord-mysql-adapter-flags

MysqlAdapter patch to allow passing driver flags from config/database.yml.

== Why

Needed to enable mysql driver compression for a few projects. The default MysqlAdapter shipped with Rails doesn't allow for
flags. Therefore, this is a simple patch to allow Mysql::CONST's to be defined in the database.yml file.

== Example

config/database.yml

  development:
    adapter: mysql
    username: dbuser
    password: "secert"
    host: localhost
    database: test
    flags: "CLIENT_MULTI_RESULTS, CLIENT_COMPRESS"
    
Note: the flags get OR'd together before passing onto the connect method. If the flag const doesn't exist in the Mysql class,
it will be ignored.

== TODO's

* write some specs
* test against more versions of ActiveRecord
* find cleaner way to implement other than opening the class and overriding custom initializer.

== Note on Patches/Pull Requests
 
* Fork the project.
* Make your feature addition or bug fix.
* Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a
  future version unintentionally.
* Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history.
  (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
* Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
