removes the `description` and `name` columns, creates a `part_number` string
|
||||
column and adds an index on it. Finally it renames the `upccode` column.
|
||||
|
||||
### Changing Columns
|
||||
|
||||
Like the `remove_column` and `add_column` Rails provides the `change_column`.
|
||||
|
||||
```ruby
|
||||
change_column :products, :part_number, :text
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This changes the column part_number on products table to be a text.
|
||||
|
||||
Besides the `change_column`, the `change_column_null` and
|
||||
`change_column_default` are used specifically to change the null and default
|
||||
values of a column.
|
||||
|
||||
```ruby
|
||||
change_column_null :products, :name, false
|
||||
change_column_default :products, :approved, false
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This sets name on products to a NOT NULL column and the default value
|
||||
of approved as false.
|
||||
|
||||

||||
If the helpers provided by Active Record aren't enough you can use the `execute`
