I installed postgres on my Mac and tried it for the first time with Rails. I included gem "pg" and removed the sqlite3 gem (after all, why would you need the latter if using the former). However, when I tried to start the server I got this error message
.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-rc1@rails321/gems/bundler-1.0.22/lib/bundler/rubygems_integration.rb:143:in `block in replace_gem': Please install the sqlite3 adapter: `gem install activerecord-sqlite3-adapter` (sqlite3 is not part of the bundle. Add it to Gemfile.) (LoadError)
So I included the sqlite3 gem again and now the server works fine, but I actually don't have any idea if my test app is using sqlite3 or pg?
a) Am I supposed to have the sqlite3 gem installed if I'm planning on using the pg gem? b) If I'm only supposed to have one of the two installed, is there a way to find out which one my test app is currently using (since both of them are in the Gemfile)

Here was my database.yml when i was working with the pg gem, the adapter is actually called postgresql and there are a couple other differences in the settings, if you just copy and paste the code below and change the database names you should be pretty much ready (I used heroku, this worked there):
development:
adapter: postgresql
encoding: utf8
reconnect: false
database: DATABASE_DEVELOPMENT
pool: 5
username: USER_NAME
password:
host: localhost
test:
adapter: postgresql
encoding: utf8
reconnect: false
database: DATABASE_TEST
pool: 5
username: USER_NAME
password:
host: localhost
production:
adapter: postgresql
encoding: utf8
reconnect: false
database: DATABASE_PRODUCTION
pool: 5
username: root
