Move database configuration section from Getting Started Guide into Configuration guide

This is because newbies don't need to know immediately all the different ways of configuring a database on Rails. The default is SQLite3 which'll work on most operating systems by default. The only reason for it to *not* work is due to missing packages on the operating system, which should be taken care of in some sort of 'Installing Rails for <Operating System> guide.

* +ActiveSupport::Logger.silencer+ is set to +false+ to disable the ability to silence logging in a block. The default is +true+.
h4. Configuring a Database
Just about every Rails application will interact with a database. The database to use is specified in a configuration file called +config/database.yml+. If you open this file in a new Rails application, you'll see a default database configured to use SQLite3. The file contains sections for three different environments in which Rails can run by default:
* The +development+ environment is used on your development/local computer as you interact manually with the application.
* The +test+ environment is used when running automated tests.
* The +production+ environment is used when you deploy your application for the world to use.
TIP: You don't have to update the database configurations manually. If you look at the options of the application generator, you will see that one of the options is named <tt>--database</tt>. This option allows you to choose an adapter from a list of the most used relational databases. You can even run the generator repeatedly: <tt>cd .. && rails new blog --database=mysql</tt>. When you confirm the overwriting of the +config/database.yml+ file, your application will be configured for MySQL instead of SQLite. Detailed examples of the common database connections are below.
h5. Configuring an SQLite3 Database
Rails comes with built-in support for "SQLite3":http://www.sqlite.org, which is a lightweight serverless database application. While a busy production environment may overload SQLite, it works well for development and testing. Rails defaults to using an SQLite database when creating a new project, but you can always change it later.
Here's the section of the default configuration file (<tt>config/database.yml</tt>) with connection information for the development environment:
<yaml>
development:
adapter: sqlite3
database: db/development.sqlite3
pool: 5
timeout: 5000
</yaml>
NOTE: Rails uses an SQLite3 database for data storage by default because it is a zero configuration database that just works. Rails also supports MySQL and PostgreSQL "out of the box", and has plugins for many database systems. If you are using a database in a production environment Rails most likely has an adapter for it.
h5. Configuring a MySQL Database
If you choose to use MySQL instead of the shipped SQLite3 database, your +config/database.yml+ will look a little different. Here's the development section:
<yaml>
development:
adapter: mysql2
encoding: utf8
database: blog_development
pool: 5
username: root
password:
socket: /tmp/mysql.sock
</yaml>
If your development computer's MySQL installation includes a root user with an empty password, this configuration should work for you. Otherwise, change the username and password in the +development+ section as appropriate.
h5. Configuring a PostgreSQL Database
If you choose to use PostgreSQL, your +config/database.yml+ will be customized to use PostgreSQL databases:
<yaml>
development:
adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
database: blog_development
pool: 5
username: blog
password:
</yaml>
h5. Configuring an SQLite3 Database for JRuby Platform
If you choose to use SQLite3 and are using JRuby, your +config/database.yml+ will look a little different. Here's the development section:
<yaml>
development:
adapter: jdbcsqlite3
database: db/development.sqlite3
</yaml>
h5. Configuring a MySQL Database for JRuby Platform
If you choose to use MySQL and are using JRuby, your +config/database.yml+ will look a little different. Here's the development section:
<yaml>
development:
adapter: jdbcmysql
database: blog_development
username: root
password:
</yaml>
h5. Configuring a PostgreSQL Database for JRuby Platform
If you choose to use PostgreSQL and are using JRuby, your +config/database.yml+ will look a little different. Here's the development section:
<yaml>
development:
adapter: jdbcpostgresql
encoding: unicode
database: blog_development
username: blog
password:
</yaml>
Change the username and password in the +development+ section as appropriate.

encoding: unicode
database: blog_development

password:
</yaml>
Change the username and password in the +development+ section as appropriate.
h4. Creating the Database
Now that you have your database configured, it's time to have Rails create an
empty database for you. You can do this by running a rake command:
<shell>
$ rake db:create
</shell>
This will create your development and test SQLite3 databases inside the
<tt>db/</tt> folder.
TIP: Rake is a general-purpose command-runner that Rails uses for many things.
You can see the list of available rake commands in your application by running
+rake -T+.
