1. Rake has nothing to do with Ruby on Rails. Rake is the Ruby Make
utility. I believe that it and RubyGems, the Ruby package manager,
are now bundled with Ruby-1.9 but they are still separate projects
and utilities. The RoR framework is a completely different beast.
2. If you are using rake db:migrate then you are using
ActiveModel/ActiveRecord from Rails which provides the task that you
are running with Rake. Removing the synthetic key (:id) that AR
expects from your tables is going to cause you a world of hurt if
you then expect to access your database using ActiveRecord.
3. I suggest that you obtain the use of a copy of "The Rails Way" by
Obie Fernandez or either "Ruby for Rails" or "The Well-Grounder
Rubist" by David A. Black before you go much further into your
project.
