Thanks Michael, Your statement is bringing sanity back to me :)
Since Rails 2.0 (now 2.1), I've always created database using db:create. I was wondering why it just does not work with Typo but the bug report seems to make some sense. Now the weird thing is that config/environment.rb has: config.active_record.observers = :email_notifier, :web_notifier so the bug reports are not valid in this particular case. It seems there is something more to it. Guess I'll blog about it. -Arun On Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 6:57 AM, Michael Hasenstein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Arun Gupta wrote: > >> AIU the main point of db:create is to create the database.
