Hi,
I made one of my ID columns a string, because I don't want my IDs to be guessable (I use a md5 hash of some system parameters with rehashing in case of collisions.)
My migration reads: ... change_column :users, :id, :string change_column :comments, :user_id, :string
Afterwards executing this my db/schema.rb looks like this: ... create_table "comments", :force => true do |t| t.integer "commentable_id" t.string "commentable_type" t.string "user_id" t.datetime "date" t.text "body" end #so far so good ... create_table "users", :force => true do |t| t.string "email" t.string "pwd_hash" t.boolean "is_active" t.datetime "last_activity" t.string "pwd_salt" t.string "activation_key" t.datetime "signup_date" end
hmm, I consider it a bug, because running the migrations and loading the schema from schema.rb lead to different schemas. What do you think?
