We just put up a new article; it’s the first in a two part series on  
rethinking searching on the web. The companion article will be next  
week.

I encounter this rake error today:

(in /home/long/rails/myapp)  
rake aborted!  
Don’t know how to build task ‘db:schema:dump’  
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.0/lib/rake.rb:1287:in `[]' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.0/lib/rake.rb:300:in`[]’  
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.0/lib/rake.rb:1719:in `run' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.0/lib/rake.rb:1719:in`each’  
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.0/lib/rake.rb:1719:in `run' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.0/bin/rake:7 /usr/local/bin/rake:18:in`load’  
/usr/local/bin/rake:18

This is strange since previously (a week or 2 ago) I was able to create  
a schema.rb  
using this command. I have not made any change to my server/ruby/rails  
in terms  
of software updates. What gives?

A second question is table schema for schema\_info. Where can I find  
column  
info? It seems ‘version int’ is one of the columns needed. Are there  
others?

Thanks for pointers,

Long

If anyone has ever used Acquisition on osx you’ll see a small example  
of this type of searching. It really is quite intuitive once you get  
used to it.

Never mind…I figured it out using rake --tasks. It list known tasks  
like db\_schema\_dump,  
duh!, so why do I see many references to db:schema:dump on the net?

Still looking for an answer to the schema\_info question though…
