Set rake db:migrate environment

Rails
1

When running rake db:migrate, how do you control which environment
gets migrated? Running it without options always updates the
development database. This is obviously not what I want to do on the
production server.

Thank you,
Landon

RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate

Whammo.

Thank you!

So the next question is, where is that in the documentation?

Dunno, it’s been a while since I had to look that one up :-). It works
for almost everything. Rails looks to the RAILS_ENV env variable to set
it’s mode. You can do the same with:

RAILS_ENV=production script/console

or a script/server, or a bunch of other little things.
