Testing your active record methods using script/console

If you are using windows, you start the console by using this command:

ruby script\console
Linux:

./script/console

Just use the following command whenever you make changes to your model objects:

reload!

Instead of accessing your MySQL database with

mysql -u -p

You can instead do

script/dbconsole

and if you database has a password, just do

script/dbconsole -p


% script/dbconsole # connect to development database (or $RAILS_ENV)
% script/dbconsole production # connect to production database

Cheers !
