I don't see why you want to write a schema manually rather than just writing the first migration manually. It is just as easy to write the inital migration as an initial schema. In fact the syntax is almost identical. However, if you do want to do that then you can use rake db:create to create the db from the schema. Note that this is not the question you asked originally, which was how to update the db from an updated schema. rake db:create creates a new database rather than modifying an existing one. A migration will modify an existing data without destroying existing data. Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
