Hi

I am following the tutorial at

[http://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/590-allow-setting-options-in-initialize\_schema\_migrations\_table](http://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/590-allow-setting-options-in-initialize_schema_migrations_table)

I am using Rails 2.2.2 and Ruby 1.8.6

I am getting the following error:

C:\rubyproj\blog\>rake db:migrate  
(in C:/rubyproj/blog)  
rake aborted!  
Mysql::Error: Commands out of sync; you can’t run this command now:  
SHOW TABLES

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

Also when I go to [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)  
the server is terminating with segmentation fault.

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an  
unusual way.  
Please contact the application’s support team for more information.

Any help please?

Thanks
