Like if you move a migration which adds a field to a table before you create the table? What would be cool is that you could order the file in any order by Rails would run the migrations in sequence regardless of the order in the file (I am assuming each 'migration' in the file would have some sort of id or timestamp). Thinking more, one more advantage is that it would be easier to find changes say for a specific table. Right now I just have to grep for it unless I can read the five mile long name I have given the file. > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. > To post to this group, send email to rubyonrails-talk@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > rubyonrails-talk+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
