This occurs only for jdbcmysql adapter, works fine for jdbcmysqlite3 adapter.

i'm seeing a similar problem as well with ActiveRecord 0.9.1 and config #2. When i call rake db:create:all the command creates test and production but not development.

I have a similar problem with JRuby 1.3.0, Rails 2.3.2, and ActiveRecord-JDBCMySQL-Adapter 0.9.1.
"rake db:create" doesn't work and terminal doesn't report any errors. When I call "rake db:create:all", creates only test database.

For me the same issue with 1.3.1 and jdbcmysql and jdbcpostresql 0.9.1.
I'm currently in a three day training talking about JRuby, so it's a bit of a surprise.
Any hints on workarounds?
I currently create the database manually.

Not aware of a workaround, I'm creating the database manually as well.

I'm having the same problem with JRuby 1.3.1, ActiveRecord 0.9.1, Rails 2.3.3, and MySQL.
db:create:all creates only test and production as noted above.
db:drop:all does nothing.
I'm glad I checked here because I thought I was going crazy

Any update on this problem? This is definitely a major bug...

Maybe if we got this moved over to the kenai.com AR-JDBC project it would be more likely to get attention?

Simple workaround for creating development db. I just copied existing env to a new environment called archive and now create:db:all creates dev env as well. Skips archive, of course .

I got the same issue . it seems it is caused by the rails rake task {rails_gem}/lib/tasks/database.rake
there is some adapter specific code in there. around line 56 there is the code: when 'mysql' . Changing it to a regular expression (like is allready done with sqlite) to 'when /mysql/' seems to have solved the problem for me.

Issue in rails 2.3.4 and jruby 1.4.0RC2 with db:test:prepare. Work around with /mysql/ worked.
