How can I specify a directory for dumping/loading my db to yaml?

rake db:data:dump_dir

created

db/2011-08-31_14:10:57_+0100/

and 

rake db:data:load_dir

No such file or directory - <RAILS_ROOT>/db/base

My question is whether you can specify a directory name to dump to/load from and how?

thanks

    You can use the ‘dir’ parameter, eg:

    rake db:data:dump_dir dir="my_dir"

    which will put it in ‘db/my_dir’ and:

    rake db:data:load_dir dir='my_dir'

    which will load it from ‘db/my_dir’.

    For dumping the directory must NOT exist.
    In both cases dirs are relative to db, absolute paths are NOT allowed

    Hope this helps.
