Sweet! Thanks for the link. That's pretty awesome. Ok, so, I've never actually done a data dump or import before. Both my production, and development databases are using MySQL (the production being on a server). Is there a rake task that creates a SQL file? I know there's rake db:structure:dump, but I'm not sure if this actually will throw all the data into the SQL file, or just the overall structure of the DB like the schema. I also need to make sure that whatever command this is, doesn't just drop my production DB (Don't need a "github incident") lol.
