How to drop a production database in Rails 5Public20 Aug 10:36
I encountered a problem when dropping a production database.
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:drop
# this results in
# rake aborted!
# ActiveRecord::ProtectedEnvironmentError: You are attempting to run a destructive action against your 'production' database.
# If you are sure you want to continue, run the same command with the environment variable:
# DISABLE_DATABASE_ENVIRONMENT_CHECK=1
Here’s the solution
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:drop DISABLE_DATABASE_ENVIRONMENT_CHECK=1
