Can't delete sqlite database

Rails
1

Did a quick experiment with a new project and added the default sqlite
database with rake db:migrate.

Now I want to get rid of it. I use rake db:drop and that will delete the
file, but as soon as I restart the Rails app, the db is recreated.
Aargh!

I can’t find any other file which has been modified which mighht cause
the db to be created.

How do I get rid of this permanently?

Rails will create a “development.sqlit3” file if one doesn’t exist -
note that this is not actually a sqlite3 database, just a file with
that name.

Are you building a site that does not use ActiveRecord? If that is the
case, setup your environment to exclude the ActiveRecord framework
(see comments in environment.rb).

If it is a version control issue, i.e.not wanting to include sqlite3
files in your repository, then ignore the files (.gitignore if using
git)

Yeah, I ended up disabling ActiveRecord for the app and that did the
trick. The main thing is that it was a different behavior from Rails 1.2
(which the app has been until today). I’ve either had Rails 1.2 with no
db, or Rails 1.2 or 2.3 with MySQL, so I had not seen this never-die
sqlite file before.
