20,594 Points'customers' table not showing up after running 'show tables'
I'm following the video command by command, etc. and yet when I run 'show tables' all I see is 'schema_migrations'. The 'customers' table isn't coming up. Did I save the migration file in Sublime? Yes.
Did I run 'rake db:migrate'? No. Why? Because the video didn't show that step.
Just want to reach out to the community and make sure I'm not missing something. Is there another way to migrate without the 'rake db:migrate' command?
Here's a copy of the code in both Sublime as well as Terminal:
```class CreateCustomers < ActiveRecord::Migration def change create_table :customers do |t| t.string :name, :about t.integer :balance t.timestamps null: false end end end
mysql> use biller_development; Database changed mysql> show tables; +------------------------------+ | Tables_in_biller_development | +------------------------------+ | schema_migrations | +------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql>

The instructor actually does run rake db:migrate
at 10:13 into the video. Yes you'll need to run that to generate the table.
