- When the migration name is of the form RemoveYYYFromZZZ followed by list of columns with data types then the generated migration will contain the appropriate remove_column statements.
- While it’s not required to specify the data type (e.g. :string) as a parameter to remove_column, it is highly recommended.
- If the data type is not specified, then the migration will not be reversible.
