snusnu,
1) Is there any objection to changing it? I'll poke around and see why
AR has the same restriction.
2) I probably wasn't clear. You could use a regular SQL call over tcp/
3306 or unix socket to create the database as opposed to using the
system() call. Use the ruby mysql api directly.
My
I just did some digging and AR no longer has the remote host
restriction. Additionally, they no longer call system() to create the
database. I can fork and request pull for fixing the remote host issue
but it will take some time to change the system() logic. Assuming no
one has any objections?
