add_belongs_to(table_name, ref_name, options = {})
Alias for: add_reference
add_column(table_name, column_name, type, options = {})

Adds a new column to the named table. See ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::TableDefinition#column for details of the options you can use.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_statements.rb, line 372
def add_column(table_name, column_name, type, options = {})
  at = create_alter_table table_name
  at.add_column(column_name, type, options)
  execute schema_creation.accept at
end
add_index(table_name, column_name, options = {})

Adds a new index to the table. column_name can be a single Symbol, or an Array of Symbols.

The index will be named after the table and the column name(s), unless you pass :name as an option.

Creating a simple index
add_index(:suppliers, :name)

generates:

CREATE INDEX suppliers_name_index ON suppliers(name)
Creating a unique index
add_index(:accounts, [:branch_id, :party_id], unique: true)

generates:

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX accounts_branch_id_party_id_index ON accounts(branch_id, party_id)
Creating a named index
add_index(:accounts, [:branch_id, :party_id], unique: true, name: 'by_branch_party')

generates:

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX by_branch_party ON accounts(branch_id, party_id)
Creating an index with specific key length
add_index(:accounts, :name, name: 'by_name', length: 10)

generates:

CREATE INDEX by_name ON accounts(name(10))

add_index(:accounts, [:name, :surname], name: 'by_name_surname', length: {name: 10, surname: 15})

generates:

CREATE INDEX by_name_surname ON accounts(name(10), surname(15))

Note: SQLite doesn't support index length.

Creating an index with a sort order (desc or asc, asc is the default)
add_index(:accounts, [:branch_id, :party_id, :surname], order: {branch_id: :desc, party_id: :asc})

generates:

CREATE INDEX by_branch_desc_party ON accounts(branch_id DESC, party_id ASC, surname)

Note: MySQL doesn't yet support index order (it accepts the syntax but ignores it).

Creating a partial index
add_index(:accounts, [:branch_id, :party_id], unique: true, where: "active")

generates:

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX index_accounts_on_branch_id_and_party_id ON accounts(branch_id, party_id) WHERE active
Creating an index with a specific method
add_index(:developers, :name, using: 'btree')

generates:

CREATE INDEX index_developers_on_name ON developers USING btree (name) -- PostgreSQL
CREATE INDEX index_developers_on_name USING btree ON developers (name) -- MySQL

Note: only supported by PostgreSQL and MySQL

Creating an index with a specific type
add_index(:developers, :name, type: :fulltext)

generates:

CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX index_developers_on_name ON developers (name) -- MySQL

Note: only supported by MySQL. Supported: :fulltext and :spatial on MyISAM tables.

end
add_reference(table_name, ref_name, options = {})

Adds a reference. Optionally adds a type column, if :polymorphic option is provided. add_reference and add_belongs_to are acceptable.

Create a user_id column
add_reference(:products, :user)
Create a supplier_id and supplier_type columns
add_belongs_to(:products, :supplier, polymorphic: true)
Create a supplier_id, supplier_type columns and appropriate index
add_reference(:products, :supplier, polymorphic: true, index: true)
Also aliased as: add_belongs_to
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_statements.rb, line 619
def add_reference(table_name, ref_name, options = {})
  polymorphic = options.delete(:polymorphic)

end
add_timestamps(table_name)

Adds timestamps (created_at and updated_at) columns to the named table.

add_timestamps(:suppliers)
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_statements.rb, line 725
def add_timestamps(table_name)
  add_column table_name, :created_at, :datetime

  versions = Dir[*paths].map do |filename|
    filename.split('/').last.split('_').first.to_i
  end

  unless migrated.include?(version)
    execute "INSERT INTO #{sm_table} (version) VALUES ('#{version}')"
  end

  inserted = Set.new
  (versions - migrated).each do |v|
    if inserted.include?(v)
      raise "Duplicate migration #{v}. Please renumber your migrations to resolve the conflict."

      inserted << v
    end
  end
end
change_column(table_name, column_name, type, options = {})

Changes the column's definition according to the new options. See ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::TableDefinition#column for details of the options you can use.

change_column(:suppliers, :name, :string, limit: 80)
change_column(:accounts, :description, :text)
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_statements.rb, line 406
def change_column(table_name, column_name, type, options = {})
  raise NotImplementedError, "change_column is not implemented"
end
change_column_default(table_name, column_name, default)

Sets a new default value for a column:

change_column_default(:suppliers, :qualification, 'new')
change_column_default(:accounts, :authorized, 1)

Setting the default to nil effectively drops the default:

change_column_default(:users, :email, nil)
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_statements.rb, line 419
def change_column_default(table_name, column_name, default)
  raise NotImplementedError, "change_column_default is not implemented"
end
change_column_null(table_name, column_name, null, default = nil)

Sets or removes a +NOT NULL+ constraint on a column. The null flag indicates whether the value can be NULL. For example

change_column_null(:users, :nickname, false)

says nicknames cannot be NULL (adds the constraint), whereas

change_column_null(:users, :nickname, true)

allows them to be NULL (drops the constraint).

The method accepts an optional fourth argument to replace existing +NULL+s with some other value. Use that one when enabling the constraint if needed, since otherwise those rows would not be valid.

Please note the fourth argument does not set a column's default.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_statements.rb, line 439
def change_column_null(table_name, column_name, null, default = nil)
  raise NotImplementedError, "change_column_null is not implemented"
end
change_table(table_name, options = {})

A block for changing columns in table.

# change_table() yields a Table instance
change_table(:suppliers) do |t|
  t.column :name, :string, limit: 60
  # Other column alterations here
end

The options hash can include the following keys:

:bulk

Set this to true to make this a bulk alter query, such as

ALTER TABLE `users` ADD COLUMN age INT(11), ADD COLUMN birthdate DATETIME ...

Defaults to false.

Add a column
change_table(:suppliers) do |t|
  t.column :name, :string, limit: 60
end
Add 2 integer columns
change_table(:suppliers) do |t|
  t.integer :width, :height, null: false, default: 0
end
Add created_at/updated_at columns
change_table(:suppliers) do |t|
  t.timestamps
end
Add a foreign key column
change_table(:suppliers) do |t|
  t.references :company
end

Creates a company_id(integer) column.

Add a polymorphic foreign key column
change_table(:suppliers) do |t|
  t.belongs_to :company, polymorphic: true
end

Creates company_type(varchar) and company_id(integer) columns.

Remove a column
change_table(:suppliers) do |t|
  t.remove :company
end
Remove several columns
change_table(:suppliers) do |t|
  t.remove :company_id
  t.remove :width, :height
end
Remove an index
change_table(:suppliers) do |t|
  t.remove_index :company_id
end

See also Table for details on all of the various column transformation.

end
column_exists?(table_name, column_name, type = nil, options = {})

Checks to see if a column exists in a given table.

# Check a column exists
column_exists?(:suppliers, :name)

# Check a column exists of a particular type
column_exists?(:suppliers, :name, :string)

# Check a column exists with a specific definition
column_exists?(:suppliers, :name, :string, limit: 100)

                                (!options.key?(:limit)     || c.limit == options[:limit]) &&
                                (!options.key?(:precision) || c.precision == options[:precision]) &&
                                (!options.key?(:scale)     || c.scale == options[:scale]) &&
                                (!options.key?(:default)   || c.default == options[:default]) &&
                                (!options.key?(:null)      || c.null == options[:null]) }
end
columns(table_name)

Returns an array of Column objects for the table specified by table_name. See the concrete implementation for details on the expected parameter values.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_statements.rb, line 57
def columns(table_name) end
create_join_table(table_1, table_2, options = {})

Creates a new join table with the name created using the lexical order of the first two arguments. These arguments can be a String or a Symbol.

# Creates a table called 'assemblies_parts' with no id.
create_join_table(:assemblies, :parts)

You can pass a options hash can include the following keys:

:table_name

Sets the table name overriding the default

:column_options

Any extra options you want appended to the columns definition.

:options

Any extra options you want appended to the table definition.

:temporary

Make a temporary table.

:force

Set to true to drop the table before creating it. Defaults to false.

Note that create_join_table does not create any indices by default; you can use its block form to do so yourself:

create_join_table :products, :categories do |t|
  t.index :product_id
  t.index :category_id
end
Add a backend specific option to the generated SQL (MySQL)
create_join_table(:assemblies, :parts, options: 'ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8')

generates:

CREATE TABLE assemblies_parts (
  assembly_id int NOT NULL,
  part_id int NOT NULL,
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_statements.rb, line 247
def create_join_table(table_1, table_2, options = {})
  join_table_name = find_join_table_name(table_1, table_2, options)

  column_options = options.delete(:column_options) || {}
  column_options.reverse_merge!(null: false)

  t1_column, t2_column = [table_1, table_2].map{ |t| t.to_s.singularize.foreign_key }

  create_table(join_table_name, options.merge!(id: false)) do |td|
    td.integer t1_column, column_options
    td.integer t2_column, column_options
    yield td if block_given?
  end
end
create_table(table_name, options = {})

Creates a new table with the name table_name. table_name may either be a String or a Symbol.

There are two ways to work with create_table. You can use the block form or the regular form, like this:

Block form

# create_table() passes a TableDefinition object to the block.
# This form will not only create the table, but also columns for the
# table.

create_table(:suppliers) do |t|
  t.column :name, :string, limit: 60
  # Other fields here
end

Block form, with shorthand

# You can also use the column types as method calls, rather than calling the column method.
create_table(:suppliers) do |t|
  t.string :name, limit: 60
  # Other fields here
end

Regular form

# Creates a table called 'suppliers' with no columns.
create_table(:suppliers)
# Add a column to 'suppliers'.
add_column(:suppliers, :name, :string, {limit: 60})

The options hash can include the following keys:

:id

Whether to automatically add a primary key column. Defaults to true. Join tables for has_and_belongs_to_many should set it to false.

:primary_key

The name of the primary key, if one is to be added automatically. Defaults to id. If :id is false this option is ignored.

Note that Active Record models will automatically detect their primary key. This can be avoided by using self.primary_key= on the model to define the key explicitly.

:options

Any extra options you want appended to the table definition.

:temporary

Make a temporary table.

:force

Set to true to drop the table before creating it. Defaults to false.

:as

SQL to use to generate the table. When this option is used, the block is ignored, as are the :id and :primary_key options.

Add a backend specific option to the generated SQL (MySQL)
create_table(:suppliers, options: 'ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8')

generates:

CREATE TABLE suppliers (
  id int(11) DEFAULT NULL auto_increment PRIMARY KEY
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8
Rename the primary key column
create_table(:objects, primary_key: 'guid') do |t|
  t.column :name, :string, limit: 80
end

generates:

CREATE TABLE objects (
  guid int(11) DEFAULT NULL auto_increment PRIMARY KEY,
  name varchar(80)
)
Do not add a primary key column
create_table(:categories_suppliers, id: false) do |t|
  t.column :category_id, :integer
  t.column :supplier_id, :integer
end

generates:

CREATE TABLE categories_suppliers (
  category_id int,
  supplier_id int
)
Create a temporary table based on a query
create_table(:long_query, temporary: true,
  as: "SELECT * FROM orders INNER JOIN line_items ON order_id=orders.id")

generates:

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE long_query AS
  SELECT * FROM orders INNER JOIN line_items ON order_id=orders.id

See also ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::TableDefinition#column for details on how to create columns.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_statements.rb, line 186
def create_table(table_name, options = {})
  td = create_table_definition table_name, options[:temporary], options[:options], options[:as]

  if !options[:as]
    unless options[:id] == false
      pk = options.fetch(:primary_key) {
        Base.get_primary_key table_name.to_s.singularize
      }

      td.primary_key pk, options.fetch(:id, :primary_key), options
    end

    yield td if block_given?
  end

  if options[:force] && table_exists?(table_name)
    drop_table(table_name, options)
  end

  execute schema_creation.accept td
  td.indexes.each_pair { |c,o| add_index table_name, c, o }
end
drop_join_table(table_1, table_2, options = {})

Drops the join table specified by the given arguments. See create_join_table for details.

Although this command ignores the block if one is given, it can be helpful to provide one in a migration's change method so it can be reverted. In that case, the block will be used by create_join_table.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_statements.rb, line 268
def drop_join_table(table_1, table_2, options = {})
  join_table_name = find_join_table_name(table_1, table_2, options)
  drop_table(join_table_name)
end
drop_table(table_name, options = {})

Drops a table from the database.

Although this command ignores options and the block if one is given, it can be helpful to provide these in a migration's change method so it can be reverted. In that case, options and the block will be used by create_table.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_statements.rb, line 366
def drop_table(table_name, options = {})
  execute "DROP TABLE #{quote_table_name(table_name)}"
end
index_exists?(table_name, column_name, options = {})

Checks to see if an index exists on a table for a given index definition.

# Check an index exists
index_exists?(:suppliers, :company_id)

# Check an index on multiple columns exists
index_exists?(:suppliers, [:company_id, :company_type])

# Check a unique index exists
index_exists?(:suppliers, :company_id, unique: true)

# Check an index with a custom name exists
index_exists?(:suppliers, :company_id, name: "idx_company_id")
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_statements.rb, line 45
def index_exists?(table_name, column_name, options = {})
  column_names = Array(column_name)
  index_name = options.key?(:name) ? options[:name].to_s : index_name(table_name, :column => column_names)
  if options[:unique]
    indexes(table_name).any?{ |i| i.unique && i.name == index_name }
  else
    indexes(table_name).any?{ |i| i.name == index_name }
  end
end
index_name_exists?(table_name, index_name, default)

Verifies the existence of an index with a given name.

The default argument is returned if the underlying implementation does not define the indexes method, as there's no way to determine the correct answer in that case.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_statements.rb, line 598
def index_name_exists?(table_name, index_name, default)
  return default unless respond_to?(:indexes)
  index_name = index_name.to_s
  indexes(table_name).detect { |i| i.name == index_name }
end
initialize_schema_migrations_table()

Should not be called normally, but this operation is non-destructive. The migrations module handles this automatically.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_statements.rb, line 655
def initialize_schema_migrations_table
  ActiveRecord::SchemaMigration.create_table
end
native_database_types()

Returns a hash of mappings from the abstract data types to the native database types. See ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::TableDefinition#column for details on the recognized abstract data types.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_statements.rb, line 11

end
remove_belongs_to(table_name, ref_name, options = {})
Alias for: remove_reference
remove_column(table_name, column_name, type = nil, options = {})

Removes the column from the table definition.

remove_column(:suppliers, :qualification)

The type and options parameters will be ignored if present. It can be helpful to provide these in a migration's change method so it can be reverted. In that case, type and options will be used by add_column.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/schema_statements.rb, line 396
