Instructions on how to use MAMP with the mysql2 gem and Ruby 1.9.3-p194 via rbenv

How to use MAMP with the mysql2 gem and Ruby 1.9.3-p194 via rbenv

Let's say you're a web developer who happens to work with both MAMP and Ruby when building different types of websites. Let's say you also like to keep your MySQL stuff in one place and don't like having to juggle both a local MySQL install as well as a MAMP MySQL install. Well, you can indeed connect your ruby apps to MAMP's MySQL. Here's a tutorial on how to do it.

Important! Before you do anything, download and install MAMP. MAMP Pro will work as well. At the time of this writing, MAMP 2.1.1 is the latest.

First, install Ruby via rbenv

  1. Install homebrew
  2. Install rbenv: brew install rbenv, follow any instructions homebrew gives you after the installation is complete.

OpenConnect VPN on Mac OS X

Unfortunately, the Cisco AnyConnect client for Mac conflicts with Pow. And by "conflicts", I mean it causes a grey-screen-of-death kernel panic anytime you connect to the VPN and Pow is installed.

As an alternative, there is OpenConnect, a command-line client for Cisco's AnyConnect SSL VPN.

Here's how to get it set up on Mac OS X:

  1. OpenConnect can be installed via homebrew:

     brew update
    

brew install openconnect

Rails migrations integer :limit option
literally always have to look up the meaning of :limit in migrations when it comes to integer values. Here's an overview. Now let's memorise it (oh, this works for MySQL, other databases may work differently):
:limit Numeric Type Column Size Max value
1 tinyint 1 byte 127
2 smallint 2 bytes 32767
3 mediumint 3 byte 8388607
nil, 4, 11 int(11) 4 byte 2147483647
5..8 bigint 8 byte 9223372036854775807
Note: by default MySQL uses signed integers and Rails has no way (that I know of) to change this behaviour. Subsequently, the max. values noted are for signed integers.
