Hello People, I tried this in pry
[2] pry(main)> require 'mysql2' => true [3] pry(main)> require 'active_record' => true [4] pry(main)> ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(:adapter => 'mysql', :database => 'db_name', :username => 'root', :password => 'root', :host => 'localhost') And got this error: LoadError: Could not load 'active_record/connection_adapters/mysql_adapter'. Make sure that the adapter in config/database.yml is valid. If you use an adapter other than 'mysql2', 'postgresql' or 'sqlite3' add the necessary adapter gem to the Gemfile. Why do I need a Gemfile for trying active record in irb / pry. Its strange. Is active record so coupled with rails that it cannot be used outside? -- Karthikeyan A K http://thepro.in/profiles/karthikeyan-a-k-1 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
