I accidentally created a column in the database with the datatype of string when it needed to be a integer. I’m on the BART, so I didn’t have internet. Fortunately I have a copy of the Rails repo and its guides. I opened up migrations.md and read to the changing tables section. Saw the following:
change_table :products do |t|
t.remove :description, :name
t.string :part_number
t.index :part_number
t.rename :upccode, :upc_code
end
I followed this and created the following migration:
change_tabe :products do |t|
t.remove :price_in_cents
t.integer :price_in_cents
end
