Creating a Database for a Rails Project

3rdRail supports these databases:

• MySQL
• InterBase
• Oracle
• PostgreSQL
• SQLite

When you created a new project using the Rails Project Wizard you selected the database for the project.

To configure a database to be used by your project

1. Set project configuration preferences in the database.yml file:
   Rails Explorer Configuration database.yml
   
2. Set up the following database instances for a Rails project:
   
   • Development
   • Test
   • Production
3. Set the parameters for each database instance:
   
   • Database Name
   • User Name
   • Password
   The database is now set up.
   

If you want to change to a different database, edit the adapter and database instance values in the database.yml file. Stop the server before switching databases.
