If you update your database schema will Rails automatically recognize the changes? For instance, if you add columns to an existing table that already has a model associated with it, will Rails need to be told of the changes? If not, how do you incorporate the changes into your Rails app, without blowing away any existing configuration you''ve done?

However, if you create specific attribute readers / writers, those will not be updated automatically.
Rails will automatically recognize changes you make to the database. However, if you used scaffolding you will need to re-run the scaffolding script or make the changes manually to your views. -Jason Gilstrap jasongilstrap-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org On 9/22/05, Nathan Mealey <nathan-mPKOtHdLgT0QaXB9iyTzyw@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > If you update your database schema will Rails automatically recognize the > changes?
