So I have this code in a migration file ....
create_table :books do |t|
t.column "Title", :string
t.column "Price", :decimal
t.timestamps
end
Are "Title" and :string just parameters being passed to the method
t.column?
If so, I understand that "Title" is a string parameter, what
is :string? a type param?
Thanks
