Subject: Re: Ruby DBI MySQL: how to specify protocol=tcp

Roger,

Thanks for the tips!  I had tried specifying host=localhost, but I
hadn't tried host=127.0.0.1.  It works!  Bizarre...

Thanks for the link, too.  It's definitely more robust than what I
have, but I'm happy with my solution for now.  If I build another sync
script some time, I'll take some good ideas from that program.
