I'm not sure if I follow you. mysql2 gem is an adaptor for the mysql DB. When you create the app with -d mysql is telling rails that you want to use mysql db for your app. Rails will by default set mysql2 gem (adaptor) to be used in the database.yml development: adapter: mysql2 encoding: utf8 reconnect: false database: del_development pool: 5 username: root password: socket: /tmp/mysql.sock So if you want to use mysql db you are doing it right with -d mysql. There is nothing else you need to do. Just go ahead with the project. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
