Don’t forget you can do:

rails my\_app -d mysql

and then database.yml will be created for MySQL.

David thanks!

that will help with that huge “code block” of mysql related information.  
Is there a way of creating the “database” schema or test\_development  
database without having to go into mysql admin?

the more the user has to go back and forth between apps (command line  
and mysql admin) the better.

great! I almost forgot both these commands!

I wonder if we can make a gui out of this? all these commands are just  
ripe for being used in a gui.
