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 4.2, to remove all data but preserve the database

$ bin/rake db:purge && bin/rake db:schema:load
