using libdrizzle as an async mysql connector

I'm interested in using libdrizzle as a generic asynchronous-capable connector for mysql db for a c++ application (actually as a backend for hiberlite). Since early this year libdrizzle is no longer a separate project and its merged in the same drizzle project, so installing as a separate dependency (unrelated to the rest of drizzle) might have become slightly more complex.

I'm wondering if people has used this library for interfacing to MySql or MariaDB, probably make some mickey mouse benchmarks to have a rough idea how it stands relative t开发者_运维百科o the synchronous default driver.

Also, comments on difficulties to install, setup, pitfalls (the documentation is essentially nonexistent) would be greatly appreciated.

You might want to take a look at ngx_drizzle (drizzle-nginx-module) at github.

From module description:

This is an nginx upstream module integrating libdrizzle into Nginx in a non-blocking and streamming way.

Essentially it provides a very efficient and flexible way for nginx internals to access MySQL, Drizzle, as well as other RDBMS's that support the Drizzle or MySQL wired protocol. Also it can serve as a direct REST interface to those RDBMS backends.

If you're using MySQL, then MySQL 5.0 ~ 5.5 is required. We're not sure if MySQL 5.6+ work; reports welcome!
