Rails - Aug 2006 - MediumText with Rails Migrations

Hi,

I''m trying to figure out how to reliably define a column as mediumtext
type through a migration.

First I tried this:

change_column( :entries, :lines, :text, :limit => 2.megabytes )

It worked fine for my development box on MySQL 5.0, but when I tried
it on my production box with MySQL 4.0, it gave the following error:

MysqlError: You have an error in your SQL syntax.  Check the manual
that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to
use near ''(2097152)'' at line 1: ALTER TABLE entries CHANGE
lines lines
text(2097152)

I finally settled on doing this in the migration:

execute "ALTER TABLE entries CHANGE COLUMN lines lines MEDIUMTEXT"

However, it makes me feel a little dirty and doesn''t reflect correctly
in the schema.rb

Is there a way to tell rails to do the migration in a way that''s
compatible with older versions of MySQL?

Thanks!
