modify_table in migrations doesn't use property syntax

Reported by Mark Bates | August 21st, 2008 @ 09:18 AM

When you're doing a modify_table call in migrations you can't use the property syntax like such:


modify_table(:pages) do
  change_column :title, String, :size => 250
end

Instead you have to use straight SQL like such:


modify_table(:pages) do
  change_column :title, 'varchar(250)'
end

- → State changed from “new” to “open”
- → Assigned user changed from “Sam Smoot” to “Paul Sadauskas (Rando)”

Confirmed. It would probably be sufficient to borrow the TableCreator::Column class (like is done in TableModifier#add_column) to fill in the type.
