what are the commands to delete all users and statuses from my databases, I feel like this is what is giving me some issues with using
<%= @status.user.full_name %>
It's saying there's no method for 'full_name', but there certainly is

Status.delete_all
That will delete all statuses from the database.
Likewise,
User.delete_all
Will delete all the users.

This link seems to discuss various commands on your database.

9,932 PointsThank you, this is what I needed.. I don't know what's going on but something doesn't have a value so it's throwing the whole database..hopefully this will solve it
