Differnce between rails db:create and rake db:create [duplicate]

Question

I am currently learning rails. I was wondering what is the difference between rails db:create and rake db:create and vise versa for migrate? I know they both create databases but why are there two functions that do the same thing? Is one of them best suited for a particular situation?

Answer 1

No difference! You can run all Rake tasks with the rails keyword in Rails 5. So

rake db:create

will become

rails db:create

Answer 2

All rake commands have been replaced with rails in Ruby 5. They achieve the same task.
