The console is a ruby shell, which allows you to interact with your application's domain
model. Here you'll have all parts of the application configured, just like it is when the
application is running. You can inspect domain models, change values, and save to the
database. Starting the script without arguments will launch it in the development environment.
Passing an argument will specify a different environment, like <tt>script/console production</tt>.
To reload your controllers and models after launching the console run <tt>reload!</tt>
To start the console, just run <tt>script/console</tt> from the application directory.
Options:
* Passing the <tt>-s, --sandbox</tt> argument will rollback any modifications made to the database.
* Passing an environment name as an argument will load the corresponding environment.
Example: <tt>script/console production</tt>.
