Thanks Leyun for sharing this module with the community. I did not manage to get the plugin running on my testing platform as the underlying QA library is hard-coded to support MySQL only, and only the older (original) mysql extension. That driver has been deprecated as of PHP 5.5.5 and the plugin does not work with the new mysqli extension (reported as issues #2 in your tracker).
As a consequence, I can't approve the plugin fully here. I've put a warning to the top of the plugin description and moved it to the experimental category. I am ok with publishing it there so that folks can eventually find it there.
Just to make sure: I'm using PostgreSQL, so this plugin will not work on my setup, right?
