No, I did not misread it. As I suspected, you still do not understand what we have been trying to tell you: Rails WILL READ THE SCHEMA FROM THE DATABASE. Your steps 2 through 4 were unnecessary, and, as I said before: You can manage your database schema using Rails & migrations, or you can manage it completely outside of Rails. Either option is pretty easy, while a mishmash combination of the two is not so easy. -- Scott Ribe scott_r...@elevated-dev.com http://www.elevated-dev.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottribe/ (303) 722-0567 voice -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
