[Rails] Re: varchar size for a blog post

[Fabian]

talking about text fields.... I have a text area of 30 columns in my html viewer of a text field It works fine, for all CRUD operations. The only detail is about te text don,t include any controls ("\n" or "\l\n") for the lines was auto-breaked into the text area of the form. I want to count the number of lines of this text area, but my code fails because I am counting "\n" marks. I know this looks like an "HTML" issue (not Rails) but all suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance FF Robert Walker escribió: Frederick Cheung wrote: On Jul 27, 1:46�pm, Ritvvij <ritvi...@gmail.com> wrote: yes... text area to write the article and then save the whole article in DB You didn't quite understand me. The column type you want (at least in mysql, sqlite3, postgresql etc) is called text Fred Also, as I understand it the migration t.text (or t.column :text) will map to an appropriate column type for the database being used (i.e. for Oracle the column would be clob). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
