To make a rails app defaulting to mysql use
rails -d mysql yourappname

But if you did not do this all you have to do is change it in
database.yml.

There is no need to use mysql if you don’t want to. You can use
sqlite or postgresql instead.

Have you seen the rails guides at
Getting Started with Rails — Ruby on Rails Guides? The getting
started guide covers this and is a good intro for beginners. Also the
other guides and the railscasts are very good.

no.
if you call rails with -d mysql, rails generates a sample config as
config/database.yml, you can specify the details there.
