Sorry about the subject line, but I couldn’t think of a better way to
state my problem.
I’ve got a Rails app deployed at www.main-domain.com. I need to deploy
copies of that app to subdomains like sub1.main-domain.com, sub2.main-domain.com, etc. Each subdomain could use the same app code,
but each must have it’s own database. (They also need their own
images, stylesheets, etc.) None of the examples I’ve been able to
Google up have that characteristic. They all assume a shared database
with the subdomain’s data being filtered in the model. I would really
appreciate any thoughts / experience / pointers to stuff I’ve missed in
my Googling that might put me on the right track.

Since you must have own database as a requirement the simplest
solution is to deploy one app for each sub-domain. You can use Virtual
Host
to set this up.
The down side is code maintenance can get complicated.
