From: page77.office@... Date: 2006-01-05T06:52:58+09:00 Subject: Newbie - Problem One - Ruby and MySQL I have ruby, apache and MySQL installed via instantrailson Windows XP sp2. All work independently OK. I am attempting to access the MySQL, but up to now no success. After searching the web. have tried require 'dbi' require 'mysql' but both have not been found. What is the correct require '' and a pointer to a code snippet, which connected to a database and select rows would be most helpful. It may be something to do with 'activerecord, but require 'active_record' does not find any code either. Thanks Richard
