Sure. I was probably trying to be too polite and didn't want to use the word "abandoned", but that's probably a better term for the library at this point. There's a good amount of open issues and PRs in many of the

We use it on a large Rails e-commerce site and it works well. All features work as advertised and it is a drop in replacement for mysql. Their support team is also great and is like having your own dba team. I can also say that I've been pa
