migrating simple rails database to mysql
- by joseph-misiti
i am interested in creating a rails app with a mysql database. i am new to rails and am just trying to start creating something simple:
rails -d mysql MyMoviesSQL
cd MyMoviesSQL
script/generate scaffold Movies title:string rating:integer
rake db:migrate
i am seeing the following error:
rake aborted!
NoMethodError: undefined method `ord' for 0:Fixnum: SET NAMES 'utf8'
if i do a trace:
** Invoke db:migrate (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
** Execute db:migrate
rake aborted!
NoMethodError: undefined method ord' for 0:Fixnum: SET NAMES 'utf8'
