First a disclaimer: I'm no expert on using PostgreSQL w/rails. So, take this with a grain of salt. Hopefully someone w/more knowledge will respond.

How does Rails keeps knowing which table > belongs to which schema? This depends. You say you've already got a database. By this, do you mean you've already got a "development" database but that you'd be instantiating a new one for production? Or, is your existing database a production database? If it's production, then the fact that the schema-dumping code drops postresql schema information won't be a problem because you won't be using this dumped schema information to create a production database. I *think* (grain of salt) it would just work since (hopefully) the postgres adapter will otherwise work fine when "addressing" your tables in the constructed SQL queries. However, if you're dumping schema from an existing "development" database so that you can use it to _create_ a production database, then you'll have problems (unless, of course, you have no table name collisions in which case it might just create all tables in the "public" schema and work, even if not in the configuration (multi-schema) you want). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
