Why doesn't rake db:migrate report version number?

Question

rake 0.8.7, rails/activerecord 2.3.3

Output from rake db:migrate:

== CreateProducts: migrating ================================================= -- create_table(:products) -> 0.0017s == CreateProducts: migrated (0.0019s) ========================================

Shouldn't the version number, in this case 20090724013528, appear before the migration name?

Answer 1

I can't remember 100% but I think they removed the number in that output when they switch migrations over to the UTC timestamps.

You can however check the current version of your DB using:

rake db:version

Answer 2

As pointed out by paulsnotes, the timestamp represents the version number. If you really want to switch back to sequential numbers, you can set a flag in environment.rb.

config.active_record.timestamped_migrations = false
