Db:migrate non-functional?

Rails
1

Am new to rails, but catching up fast.
i have developed my model

…generate model people

class CreatePeoples < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
create_table :peoples do |t|
t.column :name, :string
t.column :hashed_password, :string
t.column :salt, :string
end
end

def self.down
drop_table :peoples
end
end

blah blah… rake db:migrate

all life signals confirmed to be ok
no errors generated by rake command

but ooops when i check the database … no table was actually created
despite
running a successful rake

schema.rb seems to record a table creation but actually no table was
created when i check in the database.

can somebody help in explaining?
thanks

If you previously ran this migration and it failed, the schema version
might be set to the migration that you are running. i.e. This
migration is being ignored.

Try:
rake db:migrate VERSION=X
where X is a previous migration.

To roll the whole thing back:
rake db:migrate VERSION=0

Or if you’re using sqlite3, simply delete the file and run the
migrations again

hth

create_table :peoples do |t|

On a different note ActiveRecord would probably be happier with a
singular “Person” and plural “People”
