def add_column_options!(sql, options) #:nodoc:
  sql << " DEFAULT #{quote(options[:default], options[:column])}" if options_include_default?(options)
  # must explicitly check for :null to allow change_column to work on migrations
  if options[:null] == false
    sql << " NOT NULL"
  end
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)
Creating an index with specific key length
add_index(:accounts, :name, :name => 'by_name', :length => 10)

generates

CREATE INDEX by_name ON accounts(name(10))

add_index(:accounts, [:name, :surname], :name => 'by_name_surname', :length => {:name => 10, :surname => 15})

generates

CREATE INDEX by_name_surname ON accounts(name(10), surname(15))

Note: SQLite doesn’t support index length

#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.

#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.

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

#change_table(table_name) {|Table.new(table_name, self)| ... } ⇒ Object

A block for changing columns in table.

Example

# change_table() yields a Table instance
change_table(:suppliers) do |t|
  t.column :name, :string, :limit => 60
  # Other column alterations here
end
Examples
Add a column
change_table(:suppliers) do |t|
  t.column :name, :string, :limit => 60
end
Add 2 integer columns
change_table(:suppliers) do |t|
  t.integer :width, :height, :null => false, :default => 0
end
Add created_at/updated_at columns
change_table(:suppliers) do |t|
  t.timestamps
end
Add a foreign key column
change_table(:suppliers) do |t|
  t.references :company
end

Creates a company_id(integer) column

Add a polymorphic foreign key column
change_table(:suppliers) do |t|
  t.belongs_to :company, :polymorphic => true
end

Creates company_type(varchar) and company_id(integer) columns

Remove a column
change_table(:suppliers) do |t|
  t.remove :company
end
Remove several columns
change_table(:suppliers) do |t|
  t.remove :company_id
  t.remove :width, :height
end
Remove an index
change_table(:suppliers) do |t|
  t.remove_index :company_id

#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 27

def columns(table_name, name = nil) end

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

Creates a new table with the name table_name. table_name may either be a String or a Symbol.

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() passes a TableDefinition object to the block.
# This form will not only create the table, but also columns for the
# table.
create_table(:suppliers) do |t|
  t.column :name, :string, :limit => 60
  # Other fields here
end

Regular form

# Creates a table called 'suppliers' with no columns.
create_table(:suppliers)
# Add a column to '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
)
