[plug] Syntax in GemFile for using mariadb with Ruby on rails - Ubuntu 18.04.4

[Chris Caston]

Sorry for replying to my own message.

My dad suggested that the GemFile would contain the entry from the MetPlus
project github. I checked it and it does have an entry gem 'pg' but I
believe that is for Postgres not mariadb as I require.
