Anyone know how to add this patch?: 0001-enforced-utf-8-encoding-for-ruby-19-and-mysql-text.patch
(#4683 ASCII-8BIT and UTF-8 in hell - Ruby on Rails - rails)
I've never applied such a pacth.
It's a standard *nix patch file. The patch command could read it (see its man page for more details), but the a/ and b/ file naming scheme means that you'd probably be better off using git apply.
Thanks

Is possible use a patch command also under Windows? What about Git? Is it safe to install such patch for all the system also for ROR-beginners? Can I modify the source files manually (to exactly know, what have I changed)?

Robert K. (or others), If you do have have the exact line for the enforce coding and in witch erb files to put it I would be happy.
To replicate this error, call:
rails -v
Rails 3.0.3
ruby - v
ruby 1.9.2p0 (2010-08-18) [i386-mingw32]
Mysql version: 5.1.45-community-log
rails new r4_test -d mysql && cd r4_test rails g scaffold post title:string content:string rem:text rake db:create rake db:migrate rails s http://localhost:3000/posts call 'New Post' to all three filends insert e.g. "löwe" or "tomáš"
After this I'll get:
incompatible character encodings: UTF-8 and ASCII-8BIT

Thanks! Perfect.
I'm also waiting for a fix in 3.0.4. As you asked: Does anyone know if patch and Git exists in windows? If no; how to apply std nix patch files?
About mysql og not. It's religion, you know 
I've used Oracle on
Unix/Linux through many years. I like mysql, though.

Git exists in Windows. A *nix-style patch command probably does too,
but why are you torturing yourself with Windows?

SQLite (which Robert mentioned as his alternative) isn't suitable for production.
I no longer trust MySQL, though, and I don't see why others still do -- it's got too many silly weaknesses and stupidities. Given the choice, I'll choose PostgreSQL every time. Not religion, just being tripped up one too many times by MySQL's issues.
Best,
Hallo all,

Yes, but I don't know to work with it and therefore I cannot imagine, how to update the core of rails without not to break it ):
but why are you torturing yourself with Windows?
Well, most of my job I make on MS Excel tables with VBA support. Now I am trying to move to Rails, but it does not work yet... Maybe in some months I will be not more dependent on Bill's products (:

It is not first time I hear someone prefers the postgresql... A good comparison is on wikivs.com - wikivs Resources and Information..
I decided to install a postgresql gem in my Rails to check it, but I failed with: "Installing pg (0.10.0) with native extensions D:/Programs/ruby192/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/installer.rb:483:in `rescue in block in build_extensions': ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError) D:/Programs/ruby192/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb checking for pg_config... no checking for libpq-fe.h... *** extconf.rb failed *** Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more"
(The same error after I ran either "gem install pg" or "bundle install")
This is to much complicated for me to solve.

I note that you conveniently neglected to quote my point that a *nix-style patch tool also probably exists for Windows. That or Git will apply a patchfile very nicely indeed.

Start now! Use a *nix VM for Rails development. I understand Virtual Rails is nice.

Well, stop complicating things further by using Windows!
