Working with Rails

A quick note to self (pun intended). In app/controllers/your_controller_here.rb, place this code:

self.establish_connection(
                         :adapter=>"mysql",
                         :host=>"localhost",
                         :username=>"your_username_here",
                         :password=>"your_password_here",
                         :database=>"your_database_here"
                        )

To override the default "'root'@'localhost' identified by '';" when connecting to your db.
