Running the migration creates thedb/globalize.sqlite3 database file:

$ rake db:migrate

== 1 CreatePeople: migrating ==================================================

-- create_table(:people)

-> 0.0020s

== 1 CreatePeople: migrated (0.0021s) =========================================

$ ls db/

globalize.sqlite3 migrate schema.rb

Here are the models, views, helpers, and controllers that we create for a very simple
first iteration of the address book. For simplicity, we only include theindex(list of all
people in the address book),new(display a form to create a new entry), andshow(dis-
play an individual entry’s details) actions.

config/routes.rb
ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
map.resources :people
end
