Are you using PostgreSQL and don't want to make your app run as PostgreSQL super user, then add this custom rake task to your `lib/tasks` folder and be happy.

plpgsql.rake

#
# PostgreSQL writes two optional commands to the database schema
# file, called db/structure.sql, that can only be run as a root
# database user.  These are not needed actually, so comment them
# out automatically

# COMMENT ON EXTENSION plpgsql IS 'PL/pgSQL procedural language';
