creating table for rails

I'm working from <http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/haefel-
oracle-ruby.html>, would like to adapt the SQL for MySQL, please. Yes, I
know, that's oracle wheras I'm using MySQL. This website happens to be
the best rails tutorial I can find for my purposes, and I'd like to
follow along with it.

Here's what's happening:



[thufir@localhost ~]$
[thufir@localhost ~]$ mysql -u feeds -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 20 to server version: 5.0.27

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> quit
Bye
