Purge or recreate a Ruby on Rails database

Question

I have a dev Ruby on Rails database full of data. I want to delete everything and rebuild the database. I\'m thinking of using something like:

rake db:recrea         


        

Answer 1

On Rails 4, all needed is

$ rake db:schema:load

That would delete the entire contents on your DB and recreate the schema from your schema.rb file, without having to apply all migrations one by one.
