I mentioned above that there's a bin folder in the directory where
mysql is installed: G:\Program Files\MySQL
\MySQL Server 5.1.

I disagree - this is not a windows concept. It's a ruby concept. Can
someone else please help me to use mysql with ruby? I can see that
under directory G:\Rails\rails_apps\music_library\config there's a
file called environment.rb and its contents are:
# Be sure to restart your server when you modify this file
# Specifies gem version of Rails to use when vendor/rails is not
present
RAILS_GEM_VERSION = '2.3.3' unless defined? RAILS_GEM_VERSION
# Bootstrap the Rails environment, frameworks, and default
configuration
require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'boot')
Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
# Settings in config/environments/* take precedence over those
specified here.
# Application configuration should go into files in config/
initializers
# -- all .rb files in that directory are automatically loaded.
# Add additional load paths for your own custom dirs
# config.load_paths += %W( #{RAILS_ROOT}/extras )
# Specify gems that this application depends on and have them
installed with rake gems:install
# config.gem "bj"
# config.gem "hpricot", :version => '0.6', :source => "http://
code.whytheluckystiff.net"
# config.gem "sqlite3-ruby", :lib => "sqlite3"
# config.gem "aws-s3", :lib => "aws/s3"
# Only load the plugins named here, in the order given (default is
alphabetical).
# :all can be used as a placeholder for all plugins not explicitly
named
# config.plugins =
[ :exception_notification, :ssl_requirement, :all ]
# Skip frameworks you're not going to use. To use Rails without a
database,
# you must remove the Active Record framework.
# config.frameworks -=
[ :active_record, :active_resource, :action_mailer ]
# Activate observers that should always be running
# config.active_record.observers
= :cacher, :garbage_collector, :forum_observer
# Set Time.zone default to the specified zone and make Active Record
auto-convert to this zone.
# Run "rake -D time" for a list of tasks for finding time zone
names.
config.time_zone = 'UTC'
# The default locale is :en and all translations from config/locales/
*.rb,yml are auto loaded.
# config.i18n.load_path += Dir[Rails.root.join('my', 'locales', '*.
{rb,yml}')]
# config.i18n.default_locale = :de
end
Please guys I already know how to use mysql syntax to "talk" to a
database, I just don't know how to "tell" ruby to use mysql instead of
sqlite3.
Thanks
