# Place the db.rake file in RAILS_ROOT/lib/tasks which will add the new tasks to the list of tasks.
# See the available tasks with `rails -T` or `rake -T` from the RAILS_ROOT directory

# dump the development db
rake db:dump

# dump the production db
RAILS_ENV=production rake db:dump

# dump the production db & restore it to the development db
RAILS_ENV=production rake db:dump
rake db:restore

# note: config/database.yml is used for database configuration,
#       but you will be prompted for the database user's password

Put db.rake in /lib/tasks

Thanks!

Thanks for the update!
