Using Rails Migration on different database than standard “production” or “development”

Question

I have a rails project running that defines the standard production:, :development and :test DB-connections in config/database.yml

In addition I have a quiz_developm

Answer 1

I've found a great clean way to do this:

class CreateScores < ActiveRecord::Migration

  class ScoresDB < ActiveRecord::Base
    establish_connection("scores_#{Rails.env}")
  end

  def connection
    ScoresDB.connection
  end

  def up
    create_table :scores do |t|
      t.text :account_id
      t.text :offer
    end
  end

  def down
    drop_table :scores
  end
end
