MYSQL_ADAPTERS =

Class names of MySQL adapters.

  • MysqlAdapter - Used by gems: mysql, activerecord-jdbcmysql-adapter.

  • Mysql2Adapter - Used by mysql2 gem.

[
  "ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::MysqlAdapter",
  "ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Mysql2Adapter"
].freeze
TEXT_BYTES =

The largest text column available in all supported RDBMS is 1024^3 - 1 bytes, roughly one gibibyte. We specify a size so that MySQL will use longtext instead of text. Otherwise, when serializing very large objects, text might not be big enough.

    # Known issue in MySQL: fractional second precision
    # -------------------------------------------------
    #
    # MySQL timestamp columns do not support fractional seconds unless
    # defined with "fractional seconds precision". MySQL users should manually
    # add fractional seconds precision to this migration, specifically, to
    # the `created_at` column.
    # (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/fractional-seconds.html)
    #
    # MySQL users should also upgrade to rails 4.2, which is the first
    # version of ActiveRecord with support for fractional seconds in MySQL.
    # (https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/14359)
