'Four Days on Rails' is quite dated now but it might still provide some enlightenment of the way things link together if you are totally new to RoR; however be warned!. For instance, database tables are normally created via Rake using database migration scripts and Ruby migration definitions. Also at present (2009), Rails defaults to using sqlite3 for the database. There are quite a number of other issues that are also not addressed. I might add that I also used this document in my early days when learning Rails and found it quite useful. Keeping up with the changes in Rails is quite demanding but at least you can freeze your applications to whatever version you are using.
