You can go to http://ruby-dbi.sourceforge.net/ to download the package, as it doesn't come bundled with the Ruby One-Click Installer for Windows. Installation isn't too bad. Just follow the documentation that comes with the package... -----Original Message----- From: R.

My apologies for incorrectly posting this on my first try. I'm reposting it to it's own thread. I need to access a MySQL database from Ruby. I'm running under Windows using the one-click installer. Is DBI the preferred way to do that? If so, what do I need to install that doesn't come bundled in the one-click installer? DBI? Ruby MySQL driver? Are there gems for those or do I need to install them the old fashioned way? -- R. Mark Volkmann Partner, Object Computing, Inc.
