MySQL 2.0.37? Wow! I'm shocked that's even useable with Rails, or anything else modern. That being said I assume you added the :precision and :scale for the field to your migration? If so then yes, you might have issues with that old of a version of MySQL. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
