is there a way to drop and re-create a database from within a ruby script? Which gem (dbi, mysql2) should I use?
With DBI I have the problem that I cannot connect to the MySQL server when the database has not yet been created.
Thank you

mysql2 will work, have a look at the rake tasks that come with rails db:create etc
EDIT :
Rails rake tasks to create / drop DBs
