similar to: Migration?

I would like to get at all models in a rails application to be able to add a field to every one of them as part of a migration. Something like the following: Appmodels.each { |x| add_column x.table_name.to_s, :foo, :text } I understand I can get the table name using ActiveRecord::Base#table_name, but how do I get all the models into an array that I can use in the above manner? -- Cheers, Hasan

Hi guys, My site ( http://shunya.in ) recently started receiving some spam and I had ignored the issue till it became a problem, and I guess it is becoming a problem now.
