Thanks for the reply. I am using rails 2.0 and the migration file is prefixed with 20080827011222\_ When I run the following command: rake db:migrate I get the rake aborted! No migration with version number 3. but when I run: rake db: migrate version 0 the table is created. How do I make rake db:migrate work so I can have version beyond 0. Thanks ---
