Rails : Create a drop table cascade migration

Question

How do I force a DROP TABLE CASCADE in a Rails 3.2 migration?

Is there an option to pass to drop_table(\"table_name\")?

Answer 1

Put a file in your initializers directory called postgres.rb then did. This works for rails 4.1 anyway.

module ActiveRecord
    module ConnectionAdapters # :nodoc:
        module SchemaStatements
            def drop_table(table_name, options = {})
                execute "DROP TABLE  #{quote_table_name(table_name)} CASCADE"
            end
        end
    end
end
