What is db/development_structure.sql in a rails project?

Question

There is a development_structure.sql inside my /db folder of my rails application (rails 2.3.4, ruby 1.8.7) and I am not sure exactly what it does.

Answer 1

In rails 3, you don't even have to write this line,

config.active_record.schema_format = :sql

You can generate this structure.sql file by simply running the above rake command mentioned above
