Is is possible to have multiple apps whose root directories are in the
same directory that can share a single database.yml file?
(Sorry) that should say "rails apps"

Well, there's always the symlink or hard link. No sense putting into the language/framework what's better kept in the filesystem.

Create separate directories for your separate Rails projects.
Then (assuming you're keeping your projects in Subversion) use
Subversions "externals" as described here:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch07s04.html
cd /home/you/project2/
svn propset svn:externals "http://svn.yoursite.com/project1/trunk/models" models
svn propset svn:externals "http://svn.yoursite.com/project1/trunk/config" config
Now project2 will use the config and models from project1.
We're doing this in a few different projects : 3 separate Rails
projects, all sharing the same models and database-config.
Any time you make changes to "project1", then next time you do an svn
update on project2 it will update.
