Rails not respecting primary keys

There is some issue with Ruby on Rails not respecting primary key and other settings on columns when it does a schema dump of the db. It does this when you use a non-standard id column e.g. tablename_id and not just id.

There is a patch floating about that fixes this but a simpler way is to uncomment config.active_record.schema_format = :sql in your environment.rb. It then uses SQL and not Ruby for your schema and it respects your databases.

Paul,

I havn't seen that but then I normally map RoR into my already created db scheme (do don't normally have "id") on its own.
Normally dabble with Postgres but will checkout on MySql next time.

Is this just a 'recent' issue u've spotted?
