Renaming table in rails

Question

I want to rename a table... (any table.)

I tried this line of code:

ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::SchemaStatements.rename_table(old_name, new_name)

Here's the weird thing. I know I got it working the first time, but now I get this error: undefined method `rename_table' for ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::SchemaStatements:Module

Was there something I need to set?

Remember that in Rails >= 3.1 you can use the change method.

 class RenameOldTableToNewTable < ActiveRecord::Migration
   def change
     rename_table :old_table_name, :new_table_name
   end 
 end
