Oh noes! What do I do?

Just installed RoR and SQLite3 yesterday, watched a screencast that said  
the db\_schema\_dump will slaughter my enemies and make my poop smell like  
rainbows. Now I get rake telling me that it doesn’t know how to. Any  
help?

Never mind. Some more digging reveals that db:schema:dump is what I  
wanted.
