In migrations, how do I change the length of a string?
I want to do:
t.column :title, :string, :length => 100
or
t.column :title, :string, :size => 100
How do I do it?
Also, where is some documentation about migrations?
http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActiveRecord/Migration.html
That doesn''t tell me stuff I want to know!
Thanks!

Ben,
I think you want to either specify the size in parens ":string(80)" or
using the limit option ":limit => 80". Try and see which one works
for you.

Thanks guys, :limit did it for me. How come there''s no documentation on it on the api? How come the API doesn''t list all the types (like :integer, :string, :text, :datetime etc.)? -Ben --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
