dbconsole crashes if you have a numeric password
Reported by pfagiani (at gmail) | November 17th, 2008 @ 10:14 PM | in 2.x
if you are using MySQL and try to run script/dbconsole without the "-p" flag and you have a number [0-9] only password on database.yml then somehow it gets parsed as Fixnum and it will trigger an exception at line 44 of vendor/rails/railties/lib/commands/dbconsole.rb complaining that a number doesn't have the empty? method (NoMethodError).
The quick fix for that is to append .to_s in that to ensure that even it is a number it will get parsed ok. Here goes how i think it should be:
elsif config['password'] && !config['password'].to_s.empty?
instead of
elsif config['password'] && !config['password'].empty?
I've attached a git patch for fixing that.

Editing your database.yml so that it reads
database_name: ... password: "1337"should do the trick

Frederick, I made this patch with pfagiani and we know we can use this alternative to solve the problem, but, I don't think that it's the better solution. :D The dbconsole should understand a non string password as other rails modules currently do.

Ah fine, was just suggesting a workaround if this was an immediate problem for people
