If you are trying to learn Ruby on Rails then railstutorial.org is good and is free to use online.

When I was starting with Ruby, I found a number of one-script Ruby CGI examples for MySQL on Google. Where have you looked?

One other place to look is the Prototype + Script.aculo.us book by Christophe Portenueve. He didn't want his examples to be too Rails-centric, so he wrote a very simple Ruby CGI to handle all the back-end for the Ajax examples. That might have some good bits for you to pick at.
