I''ve got a bunch of table creations in the schema.rb file and all is well. However, I have to manually go and create the db first. Is there a way (something like a create_database method) to get this to work? (execute "create database ..." didn''t seem to cut it either.) _______________________ Brad Eck Sr. Software Engineer Pelco 3500 Pelco Way Clovis, CA 93612 Office - 800-289-9100 Email - beck@pelco.com <BLOCKED::mailto:beck@pelco.com> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Which version of Rails? I am using Rails 1.0.0 with mySQL 4.1 on Mac OS X. I created a migration: script/generate migration CreateDatabase in my ''up'' method, I put create_database :foo in my ''down'' method, I put: drop_database :foo rake migrate ''foo'' is there rake migrate VERSION=0 ''foo'' is not there Of course, you can''t connect to this database with settings in database.yml until it is already created. Secondly, I am using the root user on mysql which has CREATE TABLE permissions. But if you are wanting to create some other database, it should work just fine (depending on which db and Rails version you are using). -damon http://damonclinkscales.com/ -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
