You do this using migrations. This is a real basic thing you should learn it from the scratch! You will find the documentation here:

http://guides.rubyonrails.org/migrations.html

THe migrations are included when you creat your models using the scaffolder => http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html#getting-up-and-running-quickly-with-scaffolding

//Also increase your acceppt rate!

An example of a migration:

Create a migration =>

rails g migration testMigration

Then youl find the migration in db/migrate. To create a table add:

create_table :table_name do |f|
     f.integer :integer_column1
     f.string :string_column1, :string_column2
     f.boolean :boolean_column1
end

Then run the migration

bundle exec rake db:migrate
