Then visit the store URL - you should see the installer (and subsequently complete it).

If you don't see the installer, are you sure you don't have any other applications integrated into your store, eg. Wordpress (which would show "Error establishing database connection" in a big H1)

If your old database is still used, the only possibility is that you did not change the database properties in the file app/etc/local.xml.
