For those of you that haven’t committed the database username and passwords for your many apps to memory yet, there comes some help from edge Rails – the addition of a dbconsole script that will automatically drop you into a database prompt using the info in config/database.yml configuration.

In an edge rails app that has a mysql db config:

script/dbconsole 
...
mysql>

And there I am, logged into the dev database in the mysql command prompt. No scrounging around for that app-specific username or db name or cat ing the config/database.yml file anymore.
