Hi there,

i unfoutunately raked my rails-project.  
This caused an erase of all entries of my sql database. The Model is  
still there but all entries are missing.

Is the any possibility to redo this steop or recover the entries?

THANK YOU

What Rake task did that?

That’s up to your database and has nothing to do with Rails. You will  
most likely have to restore from your latest DB backup.

rake actually just runs commands, what happen was the same as if you had  
erased them manually.
