Rails has a built-in configuration option for handling schemas specific to a particular database: config.active_record.schema_format = :sql Simply set the above variable in your environment.rb file and everything works like magic! Note that the schema.rb file will still be generated, but the test database will use a .sql file to reset everything. To get the current database schema in SQL format simply type rake db:structure:dump -A Hi Zak,

I unzipped this into vendor/plugins, and ran rake db_schema_dump. The db/schema.rb file still has the same add_index call which fails on the TEXT field. Do I need to do something else to install the plugin? I can’t seem to get this to do anything. I unzipped this into vendor/plugins, and ran rake db_schema_dump.

So if you were to let Rails dump the SQL schema and recreated your database from it, your index would not work as expected. This may have been resolved in 1.2, I haven't checked.

# File: config/environment.rb
