I just pulled the latest from your github repo and ran the ETL test suite
locally against MySQL. I got 10 errors that were about SCDs, so I'm assuming
those were the same ones you mentioned in your last message(?).

There was one other error:

  1) Failure:
test_bulk_import_with_empties(ProcessorTest) [./test/processor_test.rb:19]:
<ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid> exception expected but none was thrown.

It turns out that MySQL is much less strict about what goes into the bulk
loader - if you try to load a row with an empty value into a column that
disallows null, MySQL just skips it without an error. Nice! :)

I'm not sure how you'd like to handle that. I tried poking around a bit to
see if there's a way to force MySQL into being more strict, but I couldn't
get anything to work reliably. The simplest fix would be to do something
like this in the test:

    unless ETL::Engine.connection(:data_warehouse).class ==
ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::MysqlAdapter
      assert_raise(ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid) {
do_bulk_import('bulk_import_with_empties.txt') }
    end

which sort of invalidates the test, but it doesn't seem like there's a way
to make this test actually work with MySQL. Your call. ;)
