ActiveRecord::Optimizations 0.0.1 15 Jul 2006

ActiveRecord::Optimizations 0.0.1 can be found here.

This release includes some bare minimum functionality and updates to the ActiveRecord::Base#create method supporting multiple value inserts given an array of data hashes.

Currently only Mysql is supported, although other database adapter (PostgreSQL is next on the list) will have included support in upcoming releases.

Leading up to RubyConf*MI more incremental updates will occur, with a larger set of updates to go out at the conference itself.

ActiveRecord::Optimizations focuses on improving ActiveRecord’s ability to intelligently communicate with the database via the database adapter. MyISAM and Innodb tables are on average 20 to 30 times as fast with the optimizations then without.
