I'm trying to use mysql for RoR on windows 7. for that I install mysql gem as follow.

PS D:\Apps> gem install mysql
Successfully installed mysql-2.8.1-x86-mingw32
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for mysql-2.8.1-x86-mingw32...
Installing RDoc documentation for mysql-2.8.1-x86-mingw32...

Now after that when i try to add mysql to gem list then i get following error:

PS D:\Apps> gem mysql
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (RuntimeError)
    Unknown command mysql

I can see that mysql gem is there in gem folder but gem is not allowing me to add it to gem file. any comments/help please.?

From what I remember, the mysql gem requires the presence of the mysql binary somewhere in the path. This is the mysql client, which the gem uses for many of its operations.
