I’m doing the similar thing in my OpenAppDotOrg Toolkit’s installer module.
So you need to login as root and then create database like

ActiveRecord::Base.connection.create_database(dbname)

You can download the version either from sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/openappdotorg)or check out the project from Google code (code.google.com/p/openappdotorg)

I kept getting an error about the database not existing (which is true). I figured I was missing an authentication step, but am not having luck finding out how to do that. How do you tell mysql that you have the rights to create a database?
