Rails Migration to make a column null => true
Ruby on-Rails-3MigrationRuby on-Rails-3 Problem Overview
I had originally created a table with column as
t.string "email", :default => "", :null => false
The requirement has changed and now I need to allow email to be null. How can I write a migration to make :null => true
Ruby on-Rails-3 Solutions
Solution 1 - Ruby on-Rails-3
change_column_null
worked perfectly:
change_column_null :users, :email, true
The reverse has a nice option to update existing records (but not set the default) when null is not allowed.
Solution 2 - Ruby on-Rails-3
Try:
change_column :table_name, :email, :string, null: true
