I'm running my rails environment in cygwin.
I have the older 1.2.6 rails.
I installed sqlite3 with their online installer (sqlite 3.5.1)
when I create a db with the command: sqlite3 test.db
I do no get a db, I just goes to the sqlite command prompt.
Am I creating the db wrong? I'm on version sqlite3 3.5.1 or is my sqlite3 not installed correctly.
What is the optimal sqlite3 version?
It should automatically create the DB for you in your rails app.
So I do not need to manually create the db? It will autogen for me when I set it in my yaml?
No, when you rake db:migrate DaveP
Exactly.

where exactly are the databases saved at when you migrate?
in /db, I believe.
You are correct.
It takes a second to wrap your mind around exactly what SQLite is doing, but I've been happy to use it for all of my development stuff so far.
did u try creating your app like ruby <name_of_application> --database=sqlite3 also check your database.yml file in the config directory for correct adapters.

Ditto.
rails foo --database=sqlite3
the above command will create a rails project *and* db in one go. If it doesn't, then there's something wrong with the setup. (The db file is, IIRC, named foo_development.db or similar.)
