Hi folks,

If someone has deployed an app on Heroku with Amazon RDS addon, may I
ask what version of Rails did you use? If you made 2.3.5 work, what
was the trick?

I came across the following thread after my 2.3.5 Rails app on my
Windows machine couldn't connect to RDS, which has MySQL 5.1:

http://forums.aptana.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=7563&p=27407&hilit=libmysql.dll#p27407

After I copied the older MySQL client DLL to c:\ruby\bin on my Windows
laptop, I was able to connect my 2.3.5 app to RDS.

If this wisdom is still applicable, does that mean I have just two
choices?

1. Make  Rails app work on Heroku + RDS  with older Rails (pre-2.2).

2. Request Heroku team to twiddle and downgrade the Rails MySQL client
library to pre-5.1, like I did on my Windows machine. Not sure if this
is feasible.

BTW, I have tried putting "mysql" in .gems file, and also taking it
out. Neither worked. Also, Heroku's EC2 security credentials are not
an issue. They were accepted correctly by RDS.

Thank you.
