If you change an old migration, and run `rake db:migrate` *NOTHING* will happen, because that migration is already saved in the database table 'schema_migrations'. You either need to create a new migration, or you have to drop the data base and re-run all the migrations. I once tried to circumvent this in a panic situation by deleting the schema migration record and re-running the migration, but it was such a crazy thing to try, I gave up. My advice is to do just as Colin suggested, and use a *new* migration to change the table. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
