ruby - i'm getting error in running rake db:migrate -

i had typed in cmd of ruby on rails command rails generate controller user name:string email:string once created when type in rake db:migrate shows error this: c:\sites\twinkle>rake db:migrate (in c:/sites/twinkle) == createmembers: migrating ================================================== -- create_table(:members) rake aborted! error has occurred, , later migrations canceled:

 sqlite3::sqlexception: table "members" exists: create table "members" ("   id" integer primary key autoincrement not null, "name" varchar(255), "email" var   char(255), "created_at" datetime, "updated_at" datetime) 

what should do?

this error means have table called 'members' in database. remove members table , try again. rails can't 'overwrite' table have make new one.

you can drop table this:

1. $rails console

2. activerecord::migration.drop_table(:members)

now can run rake db:migrate again. work now.
