No. The 'db' there is the directory in the Rails app; if you want to use
the file where it is

database: C:\database\testdatabase.db

That should work, but I don't use Windows, so try it and see what
happens. :-)

If it's a database not originally designed with Rails in mind, it may not
be all that easy to use scaffold-generated models, but again - give it
a shot. I would pick a table and try to hand-create a model that works
with it first, myself.
