Since pull request #229 has been merged, sqlite3 can be installed per git: key. It's possible to use sqlite3 easily through this addition in your Gemfile :

gem 'sqlite3', git: "https://github.com/sparklemotion/sqlite3-ruby"

This works on RubyInstaller-2.4 and newer. It automatically installs the required pacman package mingw-w64-x86_64-sqlite3 when you run bundler install.

There are some more hints for Rails on Windows in the RubyInstaller2 FAQ.
