Tell how to Create a Database in Error Message
Currently if you attempt to use a database that does not exist you get an error: ``` PG::ConnectionBad FATAL: database "db_error" does not exist ``` The solution is easy, create and migrate your database however new developers may not know these commands by memory. Instead of requiring the developer to search for a solution, tell them how to fix the problem in the error message: ``` ActiveRecord::NoDatabase: FATAL: database "db_error" does not exist Run `$ bin/rake db:create db:migrate` to create your database ``` Active Record should not know about `rake db:migrate` so this additional information needs to come from the railtie. Potential alternative implementation suggestions are welcome.
