Hi,

I'm trying to perform a migration that adds a column populated with the lower 
case contents of an existing column.

The following runs, populates the column, but the downcase is discarded:

    add_column :users, :uname, String
    self[:users].update(:uname => :screen_name.downcase)

So, I'm just using:

    add_column :users, :uname, String
    self[:users].update(:uname => :screen_name)

and trying to somehow invoke:

    update users set uname = lower(uname)

But I can't figure out how to do this.

The docs don't cover the use of a block for Sequel::Dataset.update, so I'm not 
clear how to use it.
