All, It looks like rake db:schema:dump does not dump primary keys. I have some legacy table that don''t follow the convention ie pk = id and none of the primary keys for these tables are getting dumped... Seems strange as this should be readily available from the db. I am using MySQL. Is anybody else seeing that ? Incidentally how does one specify a primary key using

I love using ActiveRecord Migrations to build tables. Sometimes, I don''t want to use autogenerated PK''s - I want to set them automatically (why?

I''m new to ROR, and am working my way through the Agile Web Development Book. In the test application, the authors tell me to test my database connection by performing "rake db:migrate". When I do, I get the error "Don''t know how to build task ''db:migrate''" I''ve been looking around at the files, and I see a reference to a

I am working with an existing schema and thus limited in how much I can bend my existing column names. I have a table Users, and a table ForumUsers, for which I have a "has_one" relationship - a user has_one forumuser. When I look at my user records I wish to include some information from forumuser: @users = User.find :all, :include => :forum_user, :order =>
