Sorry to be so newbie regarding this... How would I specify #2?
Regarding #3, I guess I don't really need to worry about a rollback. I just want to do one simple thing, migrate the database in a specific applications directory. So all I really need to do is figure out that rake path thing, then go to the proper directory in the server and execute "rake db:migrate". Thanks for your help. :) On Aug 6, 10:02 pm, "Jamis Buck" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Three things: > > 1. Settings on a task are not inherited by tasks called from that > task.
