Paul,
        I don't think this is the same gem you loaded, but for my own
use of a similar setup, I use Ruby DBI:

                Usage:  http://www.kitebird.com/articles/ruby-dbi.html 
                Download:       http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-dbi/

Hope that helps,
Adam

Subject: [Wtr-general] Watir / Ruby / Mysql


I've been using Ruby with Watir for a few months now to scrape data off
of internal web pages where I work.  I'm fairly happy with the results,
although I want to improve these processes.  I want to put this data
into mysql (yes, I've designed a schema).

On a windows box, I have Watir running with Ruby, and I have mysql
running stand alone.  I've used this command to load the mysql
interface:

  gem install mysql

and this seemed to complete fine.  Then I used this statement to try and
connect from ruby to mysql:

     dbh = Mysql.real_connect("localhost", "root", "mysql", "test")

and I got this message:

  Error code: 1251
  Error message: Client does not support authentication protocol
requested by server; consider
  upgrading MySQL client

What am I missing?

Paul
