Does a schema\_info table exist in your database? You shouldn’t have to create that yourself, of course - but if it exists, it’s a clue that rake thinks it’s done _something_. If it exists, what’s the data in it? I don’t use RadRails, so there might be something else it does that gets in the way, but from a straight Rails perspective, that’s where to start looking. ---

Actually, I think this might just be a limitation of that terminal widget in radrails… I can’t seem to find it now, but I remember being annoyed that it didn’t really work like a terminal… that there were only certain things you could do. I would try doing some other stuff – even another rake file – in it before you assume that there’s a problem with your db/app/rakefile. Or better yet, just use your regular OS terminal window! b ---

Personally I set up an ‘External Application’ to do tasks like this. The output still shows up in the terminal window. ---

We need to provide actual support for rails schemas and will be doing so in the future. ---

I couldn’t figure out how to use the Terminal window and I don’t understand why sometimes it’s available to use and sometimes not.
