Problem in accessing MySQL

B

Bhaskar Ms

Hi,
I'm new to ruby and facing the following problem in connecting to MySQL
from my script.

Here is the script:
#!/usr/bin/ruby -w
#~ # simple.rb - simple MySQL script using Ruby DBI module
gem "mysql"
gem "dbi"
require "dbi"
#~ gem 'dbd-mysql'
begin
# connect to the MySQL server
dbh=DBI.connect("DBI:Mysql:<db-name>:<remote-Host>", "user",
"password")

# get server version string and display it
row = dbh.select_one("SELECT VERSION()")
puts "Server version: " + row[0]
rescue DBI::DatabaseError => e
puts "An error occurred"
puts "Error code: #{e.err}"
puts "Error message: #{e.errstr}"
ensure
# disconnect from server
dbh.disconnect if dbh
end


Here is the error:
ruby simple.rb
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/dbi-0.4.1/lib/dbi.rb:294:in
`load_driver': Unable to load driver 'Mysql' (underlying error:
uninitialized constant DBI::DBD::Mysql) (DBI::InterfaceError)
