Lets add MS SQL server
install gem activerecord sqlserver adapter (http://github.com/rails-sqlserver/2000-2005-adapter)
C:\> gem install activerecord-sqlserver-adapter
I ran into a problem that it could install the gem so I have to dowdload devkit so it would "make" it has instruction on how to install.
installed devkit: unzipped rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/66888/devkit-3.4.5r3-20091110.7z
into c:\ruby to get ruby-odbc to build
C:\>gem install ruby-odbc
-- which built and installed v. 0.999

Let's see what's installed.
C:\>gem list --local

create a database on your SQL Server
Open your SQL Server client tool and create a database called sqlserverapp
Add a user with SQL Server authentication called user with secret as password to the database you just created.
Create an ODBC link name sqlserverapp to connect to this database.
Then you have to edit your database configuration file to tell rails to use SQL Server and your new database.

Edit the database.yml file.
Change the section under development with the following :
development:
adapter: sqlserver
mode: odbc
dsn: sqlserverapp
username: user
password: secret
host: mycomputer
Note : replace mycomputer with the name of your instance of SQL Server (in most cases, locahost should do the job).
You should be god to go.
Please see Rails 2 and SQL Server 2008 on Windows made simple for more information on connecting to the MS Sequel Server.
