To make a rails app defaulting to mysql use rails -d mysql yourappname But if you did not do this all you have to do is change it in database.yml. There is no need to use mysql if you don't want to. You can use sqlite or postgresql instead. Have you seen the rails guides at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html? The getting started guide covers this and is a good intro for beginners. Also the other guides and the railscasts are very good.
