Hi,

I've done a bit of web development work, but decided to try something
new after I got into a fight with PHP over regular expressions.  I
figured I'd have nothing to do by trying out Rails, so here I am.

I'm following along the getting started guide:
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html

However, I just hit my first snag.  "rake db:create" is returning the
error "Couldn't create the database for... etc.".  I get the
impression that this will attempt to create the database, which would
explain the error: With my webhost, the database users aren't allowed
to create new databases; that needs to be done from the web panel.

How can I -connect- to a (remote) database and build the needed
tables, but not -create- an entirely new database?  Thanks, I
appreciate it.

Eric
