Create a new Ruby on Rails application using MySQL instead of SQLite

Question

I want to create my Rails application with MySQL, because I like it so much. How can I do that in the latest version of Rails instead of the default SQLite?

Answer 1

If you are using rails 3 or greater version

rails new your_project_name -d mysql

if you have earlier version

rails new -d mysql your_project_name

So before you create your project you need to find the rails version. that you can find by

rails -v
