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

rails new  -d mysql

OR

rails new projectname

Changes in config/database.yml

development:
  adapter: mysql2
  database: db_name_name
  username: root
  password:
  host: localhost
  socket: /tmp/mysql.sock
