If you run the whole test suite via rake test_mysql, it happens  
automatically using a dirty trick.  If you want to do it manually, you  
need to run the file aaa_create_tables_test.rb - the 'aaa' forces the  
file to run before all the other tests, ensuring the schema is loaded.


In directory rails/activerecord:

$ ruby -Ilib:test:test/connections/native_mysql test/cases/ 
aaa_create_tables_test.rb
Using native MySQL
Loaded suite test/cases/aaa_create_tables_test
Started
.-- adapter_name()
    -> 0.0000s
-- create_table(:accounts, {:force=>true})
    -> 0.0076s
# lots of lines omitted...
-- create_table(:binary_fields, {:options=>"CHARACTER SET  
latin1", :force=>true})
    -> 0.0074s
.
Finished in 1.067615 seconds.

2 tests, 2 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors



If you use some other db than mysql, just change the -I option to use  
the correct connection file.

RUNNING_UNIT_TESTS needs updating.  I was going to do that at one  
point but got distracted.  If you have time to do a doc patch, I'll +1  
it :-)
