Okay, I did an edit of my linked monkey-patch. I can do a "rake db:migrate" and start a rails console now. I fixed on obvious bug I had. However, I'm forced to manually include the mysql adapter in my initializer for it to work. So, my overall question still stands... what is the correct idiomatic way of doing this?
Side note: though I can now run my migration(s) and load a console, the database table created with my migration doesn't seem to reflect my monkey-patching (yes, I did a complete "rake db:drop" first). In other words, if anyone also has more specific pointers (not just how/where to monkey-patch like this, but how to accomplish my specific goal) I'd sure welcome them. Just so you know, I'm trying to force the AR/MysqlAdapter to use "-1" for boolean true values and the MySQL "TIMESTAMP" type for :timestamp-typed columns.
