Public Instance Methods

belongs_to(*args)

Alias for: references

change(column_name, type, options = {}) Show source

Changes the column's definition according to the new options. See ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::TableDefinition#column for details of the options you can use.

t.change(:name, :string, limit: 80)
t.change(:description, :text)

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_definitions.rb, line 406
def change(column_name, type, options = {})
  @base.change_column(@table_name, column_name, type, options)
end

change_default(column_name, default) Show source

Sets a new default value for a column. See ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::SchemaStatements#change_column_default

t.change_default(:qualification, 'new')
t.change_default(:authorized, 1)

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_definitions.rb, line 414
def change_default(column_name, default)
  @base.change_column_default(@table_name, column_name, default)
end

column(column_name, type, options = {}) Show source

Adds a new column to the named table. See ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::TableDefinition#column for details of the options you can use.

Creating a simple column

t.column(:name, :string)

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_definitions.rb, line 360
def column(column_name, type, options = {})
  @base.add_column(@table_name, column_name, type, options)
end

column_exists?(column_name, type = nil, options = {}) Show source

Checks to see if a column exists. See ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::SchemaStatements#column_exists?

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_definitions.rb, line 365
def column_exists?(column_name, type = nil, options = {})
  @base.column_exists?(@table_name, column_name, type, options)
end

index(column_name, options = {}) Show source

Adds a new index to the table. column_name can be a single Symbol, or an Array of Symbols. See ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::SchemaStatements#add_index

Creating a simple index

t.index(:name)

Creating a unique index

t.index([:branch_id, :party_id], unique: true)

Creating a named index

t.index([:branch_id, :party_id], unique: true, name: 'by_branch_party')

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_definitions.rb, line 378
def index(column_name, options = {})
  @base.add_index(@table_name, column_name, options)
end

index_exists?(column_name, options = {}) Show source

Checks to see if an index exists. See ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::SchemaStatements#index_exists?

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_definitions.rb, line 383
def index_exists?(column_name, options = {})
