end

#add_index(table_name, column_name, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Adds a new index to the table. column_name can be a single Symbol, or an Array of Symbols.

The index will be named after the table and the first column name, unless you pass :name as an option.

When creating an index on multiple columns, the first column is used as a name for the index. For example, when you specify an index on two columns [:first, :last], the DBMS creates an index for both columns as well as an index for the first column :first. Using just the first name for this index makes sense, because you will never have to create a singular index with this name.

Examples
Creating a simple index
add_index(:suppliers, :name)

generates

CREATE INDEX suppliers_name_index ON suppliers(name)
Creating a unique index
add_index(:accounts, [:branch_id, :party_id], :unique => true)

generates

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX accounts_branch_id_party_id_index ON accounts(branch_id, party_id)
Creating a named index
add_index(:accounts, [:branch_id, :party_id], :unique => true, :name => 'by_branch_party')

generates

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX by_branch_party ON accounts(branch_id, party_id)

end

#add_order_by_for_association_limiting!(sql, options) ⇒ Object

ORDER BY clause for the passed order option. PostgreSQL overrides this due to its stricter standards compliance.

#change_column(table_name, column_name, type, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Changes the column’s definition according to the new options. See TableDefinition#column for details of the options you can use.

Examples
change_column(:suppliers, :name, :string, :limit => 80)
change_column(:accounts, :description, :text)

Raises:

  • (NotImplementedError)

end

#change_column_default(table_name, column_name, default) ⇒ Object

Sets a new default value for a column. If you want to set the default value to NULL, you are out of luck. You need to DatabaseStatements#execute the appropriate SQL statement yourself.

Examples
change_column_default(:suppliers, :qualification, 'new')
change_column_default(:accounts, :authorized, 1)

Raises:

  • (NotImplementedError)

#columns(table_name, name = nil) ⇒ Object

Returns an array of Column objects for the table specified by table_name. See the concrete implementation for details on the expected parameter values.

# File 'lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_statements.rb', line 28

def columns(table_name, name = nil) end

#create_table(table_name, options = {}) {|table_definition| ... } ⇒ Object

Creates a new table There are two ways to work with #create_table. You can use the block form or the regular form, like this:

Block form

# create_table() yields a TableDefinition instance
create_table(:suppliers) do |t|
  t.column :name, :string, :limit => 60
  # Other fields here
end

Regular form

create_table(:suppliers)
add_column(:suppliers, :name, :string, {:limit => 60})

The options hash can include the following keys:

:id

Whether to automatically add a primary key column. Defaults to true. Join tables for has_and_belongs_to_many should set :id => false.

:primary_key

The name of the primary key, if one is to be added automatically. Defaults to id.

:options

Any extra options you want appended to the table definition.

:temporary

Make a temporary table.

:force

Set to true to drop the table before creating it. Defaults to false.

Examples
Add a backend specific option to the generated SQL (MySQL)
create_table(:suppliers, :options => 'ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8')

generates:

CREATE TABLE suppliers (
  id int(11) DEFAULT NULL auto_increment PRIMARY KEY
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8
Rename the primary key column
create_table(:objects, :primary_key => 'guid') do |t|
  t.column :name, :string, :limit => 80
end

generates:

CREATE TABLE objects (
  guid int(11) DEFAULT NULL auto_increment PRIMARY KEY,
  name varchar(80)
)
Do not add a primary key column
create_table(:categories_suppliers, :id => false) do |t|
  t.column :category_id, :integer
  t.column :supplier_id, :integer
end

generates:

CREATE TABLE categories_suppliers (
  category_id int,
  supplier_id int
)

See also TableDefinition#column for details on how to create columns.

Yields:

  • (table_definition)
