在Rails / Mac OS X上运行哪个mysql客户端？

Question

I'm trying to learn how to use mysql with a rails app. I installed mysql with Homebrew (brew install mysql), and I don't understand how to run a mysql server or client (what that means, entails, or anything).

My OS is Mac OS Snow Leopard.

How do I run a mysql server or client? I just want to get something functioning so I can do rake db:create, create my development database, and get my app up and running so I can create models, tables, and essentially develop without hassle.

Thanks for any and all help.

Answer 1

您可以使用安装程序http://mysql.com/downloads/mysql/#downloads安装mysql，如果需要的话，它包括用于启动/停止和自动运行程序的设置应用程序。

Answer 2

Run mysqld in terminal, that should do it. As:

$ mysqld

Answer 3

The default for starting your mysqlserver is mysql.server start . This will create a socket at: /tmp/mysql.sock

A example config for a development mysql database would be (defined in database.yml ):

development:
  adapter: mysql2
  encoding: utf8
  database: rails_app_development
  username: root
  password:
  socket: /tmp/mysql.sock
  pool: 5
  timeout: 5000 

You will need to include the mysql2 gem in your Gemfile: gem 'mysql2'

For setting up a fast development environment it is fine to just go with sqlite3 and sort the connection with another database later.

I can recommend the Sequel Pro editor for connecting to your DB and viewing the data and create/edit/remove of databases and objects.

Here you go:

Server: http://mysql.com/downloads/mysql/#downloads

Client: http://www.mysql.com/products/workbench/

After install it you will find start/stop controls in OS X System Preferences
