Can anyone tell me exactly how rake works? How does it know what to do?

Also, when I run rake db:anything, it changes my schema file to an
autogenerated format, can anyone tell me where it gets the info for
this?

Thanks

Jim Weirich's site onestepback.org has several articles on how rake does what it does:

http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aonestepback.org+rake

If you want the short answer, it builds a dependency tree, performs a topological sort, then runs things in order until done.

Also, when I run rake db:anything, it changes my schema file to an
autogenerated format, can anyone tell me where it gets the info for
this?

Ask the Rails list.
