Once a migration is created with the scaffold command it cannot be altered with the scaffold command. Only manually. However, once a migration file has been used by running rake db:migrate, you are not recommended to alter this file in a real production site, but rather you must make a new migration file, but not using scaffold:
script/generate migration AddPasswordColumn This command would create a new migration file where you can add/alter/ delete database columns and schema. However, if you are testing and want to redo your first scaffold command: rake db:migrate VERSION=0 And now edit the file and rerun: rake db:migrate Hank On Nov 26, 6:51 am, Indu RS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello , > > I am a ROR beginner.
