Heroku Drop Table Rails Help

Question

I am using Ruby on Rails and I no longer need my table Order so I deleted it using SQLite manager.. How can I make the table deletion take place in heroku?

Answer 1

Just create a migration like this:

def self.up
    drop_table :orders
end

def self.down
    # whatever you need to recreate the table or
    # raise IrreversibleMigration
    # if you want this to be irreversible.
end

and then do a heroku rake db:migrate the next time you push your changes.

You might want to recreate the table in SQLite so that you can run this migration locally as well.
