How do I code a rake task that runs the Rails db:migrate task?

Question

I would like to run db:migrate VERSION=0 and then db:migrate inside of my own rake task. I am confused about how to do this. Do I need a special require statement? My rake task will reside in the lib/tasks directory of a Rails app. Thanks.

Is your task just dependent on having a clean db? If that's the case then you can do:

task :my_task => [:environment, 'db:reset']
