We recently upgraded to Rails 2.1. When dumping the schema ( rake  
db:schema:database) from our database I expected to see the command to  
create the schema\_migration table. Why is this table not in the schema  
dump file ? Also, the schema\_version is still in the file, but not in  
the database ?

the ruby schema loader knows that in needs to create the schema  
migrations table so why would it include it ?
