I’m trying to get started in the Rails word here after the 3.0 upgrade, and it seems mysql support has been stripped out in favor of sqlite. After spending hours trying to install the mysql2 gem and failing I’m going to try and develop in sqlite, but are people really using that for production?
I’m just about ready to give up and do this project in PHP, but I really want to give rails a shot. Any help or advice is appreciated.
MySQL is still very common. The mysql2 gem is in vogue and should not be terribly difficult to install. Perhaps open a new question with your installation problems.
If you are interested in alternatives to MySQL, ask on programmers.
Except in certain narrow circumstances, don’t plan on using SQLite in production. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3630/sqlite-vs-mysql for more discussion.
