That doesn't sound right - rake db:migrate runs migrations that have not been run by comparing the contents of the schema_migrations table with the list of available migrations: it doesn't just assume that everything upto the largest entry has been run (unless possibly you are using the legacy pre rails 2 migration numbering scheme - no idea if that is still possible)

The only exception to this is that if you run db:schema:load then it assumes all migrations upto the version named in schema.rb have run.

Thanks, I found it out. I didn't take over the database configuration
to the new branch, so it was my mistake. Thats why i deleted this
message.
