Hai to all  
I am totally new to ‘Ruby on Rails’. During the course of an attempt  
to migrate to a postgresql 8.0 ( WinXP ), had the following problem. I  
am using Netbeans 6.0 IDE

* * *

\*\* Invoke db:migrate (first\_time)  
\*\* Invoke environment (first\_time)  
\*\* Execute environment  
\*\* Execute db:migrate  
rake aborted!  
no such file to load – postgres

* * *

* * *

- The code works fine with Mysql \*

* * *
