I'm pretty sure that doesn't do what you think it does. It creates a an int(8) in mysql (as opposed to the default which is int(11)) but this does not affect the size of the number that can be stored in the field. An int field in mysql is 32 bits long regardless of the :limit you set (that's only the 'display' length). If you want to store numbers greater than 2147482624 you hvae to use bigint. steve -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
