It is if you want to use a sqlite3 database (in which case you need the sqlite3-ruby gem and sqlite3 itself)

what are the options? mysql or sqlite3? i just wonder why there is no mentioning of it onhttp://rubyonrails.org/download to talk about having RoR run correctly? thanks.

mysql, sqlite3, sqlite or postgresql are common options, and there are adapters for other one's too. I suppose it is assumed that it is obvious that you will need the ruby bindings for the database you pick.
