Ruby on Rails: How can I revert a migration with rake db:migrate?

Question

After installing devise MODEL User i got this.

class DeviseCreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration   def self.up     create_table(:users) do |t|       t.database_authenticatable :null => false       t.recoverable       t.rememberable       t.trackable        # t.encryptable       # t.confirmable       # t.lockable :lock_strategy => :failed_attempts, :unlock_strategy => :both       # t.token_authenticatable         t.timestamps     end      add_index :users, :email,                :unique => true     add_index :users, :reset_password_token, :unique => true     # add_index :users, :confirmation_token,   :unique => true     # add_index :users, :unlock_token,         :unique => true     # add_index :users, :authentication_token, :unique => true   end    def self.down     drop_table :users   end end 

Now if i do rake db:migrate the users table will be created.

How can i revert this migration, i.e. how can I delete the users table using rake again ?

Answer 1

Run the following command

rake db:migrate:down VERSION=<version> 

where <version> is the version number of your migration file you want to revert.

eg. if you want to revert a migration with file name 3846656238_create_users.rb

rake db:migrate:down VERSION=3846656238
