Ruby on Rails - changing tables in ruby on rails- ruby on rails tutorial - rails guides - rails tutorial - ruby rails



  • We have created a table with some wrong schema, then the easiest way to change the columns and their properties is change_table.

Example

change_table :orders do |t|
  t.remove :ordered_at # removes column ordered_at
  t.string :skew_number # adds a new column 
  t.index  :skew_number #creates an index
  t.rename :location, :state #renames location column to state
end
Clicking "Copy Code" button will copy the code into the clipboard - memory. Please paste(Ctrl+V) it in your destination. The code will get pasted. Happy coding from Wikitechy - ruby on rails tutorial - rails guides - ruby rails - rubyonrails - learn ruby on rails - team
