Yippee! You never know when providing an answer as vague as “Well, what I would do. . .” whether it’ll be of any use.

If you’re going to paste stuff into the rails console, a handy trick to know is that if you terminate your lines with a `;` you won’t get pushed into a `less` pager to see the results of the last statement. (If you write a proper loop, or run a script you don’t need this tip.)

Good luck!
