I made a friendly alias to rake db:migrate VERSION=0 (got tired of  
writing it all the time)  
Feel free to use it.

# add alias to “rake db:migrate VERSION=0”

# that can be called without extra parameters

namespace :db do  
namespace :migrate do  
desc “Alias for db:migrate VERSION=0”  
task :down =\> :environment do  
puts “migrates down to version 0 of database”  
ActiveRecord::Migrator.migrate(“db/migrate/”, 0)  
Rake::Task[“db:schema:dump”].invoke if  
ActiveRecord::Base.schema\_format == :ruby  
end  
end  
end

I vaguely recall that I have read that it’s possible to put snippets  
out as pasties, so that everybody can use it as a sake task.

Could someone please explain me how?

Thanks"
