NAME
    DBD::mysql::AutoTypes -- automatically assign parameters' sql type to
    support old DBD::mysql functionality

SYNOPSIS
     use DBI;
     use DBD::mysql::AutoTypes;

     my $dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:...', '...', '...') and mysql_auto_types();

DESCRIPTION
    Since version 2.9002 DBD::mysql requires explicit sql type for query
    parameters. You should change the tonnes of $dbh->selectall_arrayref()
    to the ugly "prepare - bind - execute - fetch" pipeline.

    This module is provided to solve the problem.

    You have to change only two lines of code (use the module, and apply
    fixup after accuring database connection).
