Db name change

Rails
1

Hi all,
Is it possible to do a db name change during the course of
the
project and then propagate the effect all across the project?

        E.g. I started of doing a sample program with db name as

“tests”. As the project evolved I decided to change its name to
“biodatas”.

" create_table “tests”, :force => true do |t|
t.column “name”, :string, :limit => 45, :default => “”, :null =>
false
t.column “class”, :integer, :limit => 10, :default => 0, :null =>
false
t.column “address”, :string, :limit => 45, :default => “”, :null =>
false
t.column “city”, :string, :limit => 45, :default => “”, :null =>
false
end

Making a migration with

rename_table “tests”, “biodatas”

will rename the table for you.

You’ll have to search-and-replace in order to change mentions of Test
to Biodata in your code, unless you’re using an IDE that can do this
for you.
