How does one verify that a Rails project is using the mysql gem (which I assume is faster) instead of whatever "-d mysql" provides ?
Answered my own question, but in case anyone is curious: - renaming /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.15.0.0 to anything else causes script/console to complain like so:
Budgie.find(:all)
!!! The bundled mysql.rb driver has been removed from Rails 2.2. Please install the mysql gem and try again: gem install mysql. LoadError: libmysqlclient.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory - /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i486-linux/mysql.so from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i486-linux/mysql.so from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:153:in `require'
