Rails - Nov 2005 - Newbie - How Do I Create a new Table

Ok I have been running around the web for the last couple of hours  
and can not for the life of me figure out how to create a new table  
using the create_table method found in the docs here:

http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActiveRecord/ConnectionAdapters/ 
SchemaStatements.html#M000507

Basically I have set up a DB as well as a scaffold and made some  
changes. When i create a new record i want to also create a new table  
that is associated with that record to hold some other data. I have  
tried both ways in the api doc from my controller as well as the  
model and still can not get it to actually create a table. I receive  
various errors telling me the method for create_table can not be  
found. The code I am trying to run right now is generic as  I just  
want a table created it is:

create_table(:suppliers)
add_column(:suppliers, :name, :string, {:limit => 60})


Can some one please point me at an example or a tutorial?

Thanks in advance.

Andrew

Seems like you''re using the wrong syntax. Try this article... I think 
it''ll help demystify the process for you.
