Method Detail

addColumn() public 

addColumn(string $name, mixed $attrs)

Add a column to the table.

Attributes

Columns can have several attributes:

  • type The type of the column. This should be one of CakePHP's abstract types.
  • length The length of the column.
  • precision The number of decimal places to store for float and decimal types.
  • default The default value of the column.
  • null Whether or not the column can hold nulls.
  • fixed Whether or not the column is a fixed length column. This is only present/valid with string columns.
  • unsigned Whether or not the column is an unsigned column. This is only present/valid for integer, decimal, float columns.

In addition to the above keys, the following keys are implemented in some database dialects, but not all:

  • comment The comment for the column.
