-<div class="paragraph"><p>The migration requires that we <strong>migrate</strong>, that is, run some Ruby code (living in that <tt>20081217071914_create_high_scores.rb</tt>) to modify the schema of our database.

In unit testing, we take a little part of code, say a method of a model, and test its inputs and outputs. Unit tests are your friend. The sooner you make peace with the fact that your quality of life will drastically increase when you unit test your code, the better. Seriously. We&#8217;ll make one in a moment.</td>

-<h3 id="_console">1.4. console</h3>
-<div class="paragraph"><p>The <tt>console</tt> command lets you interact with your Rails application from the command line. On the underside, <tt>script/console</tt> uses IRB, so if you&#8217;ve ever used it, you&#8217;ll be right at home. This is useful for testing out quick ideas with code and changing data server-side without touching the website.</p></div>
-<h3 id="_dbconsole">1.5. dbconsole</h3>
-<div class="paragraph"><p><tt>dbconsole</tt> figures out which database you&#8217;re using and drops you into whichever command line interface you would use with it (and figures out the command line parameters to give to it, too!). It supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite and SQLite3.</p></div>
-<h3 id="_plugin">1.6. plugin</h3>
-<div class="paragraph"><p>The <tt>plugin</tt> command simplifies plugin management; think a miniature version of the Gem utility. Let&#8217;s walk through installing a plugin. You can call the sub-command <strong>discover</strong>, which sifts through repositories looking for plugins, or call <strong>source</strong> to add a specific repository of plugins, or you can specify the plugin location directly.</p></div>
-<div class="paragraph"><p>Let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re creating a website for a client who wants a small accounting system. Every event having to do with money must be logged, and must never be deleted. Wouldn&#8217;t it be great if we could override the behavior of a model to never actually take its record out of the database, but <strong>instead</strong>, just set a field?</p></div>
-<div class="paragraph"><p>There is such a thing! The plugin we&#8217;re installing is called "acts_as_paranoid", and it lets models implement a "deleted_at" column that gets set when you call destroy. Later, when calling find, the plugin will tack on a database check to filter out "deleted" things.</p></div>
