Hi,
It wasn't that I had any doubt that db:create should work, it was that
rake task is defined in rails, and not typo. So I felt it was more
rails related. Where it's casued or ended, I don't know.
it works for me with regular ruby 1.8.6, I don't use jruby so I did
not test, but I assume that jruby is unrelated.
Unfortunately, I am a believer in testing w/ ruby only, as I have
found some unique problems using rubinus, YARV and jruby that do not
happen elsewhere...
When in doubt, try it the "normal" way, and if it works, backtrack and
find out where and why it's failing.
... however for me personally I try to run a secure MySQL Server; so I
give each rails app it's own login credentials, and db:create will/
would fail because I do not give it permission to create a database.
Which is why I find db:create rake task to be downright silly.
Thanks for listening, no reply necessary.

create the database using mysqladmin.

Hi Arun,
No one here believes you? Well I do... had the same error. I found
several URLs of the same sort, like
http://justbarebones.blogspot.com/2008/05/rails-202-restful-authentication-and.html
and this very recent bug report:
http://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/63-bug-rake-db-create-and-observers
However, I ended up giving up on rails and created my database
manually.
It IS a bug in rails, maybe triggered by one of the plugins, who
knows.
Since it only shows up at db creation time I thought it not worth
investigating further.
To all those doubters here, first, db:create IS supposed to create the
database. When I run it and the (empty!) schema exists it complains
about this fact. When the schema doesn't exist I get the same error as
Arun. It's just another bug in rails.
