I am using Jruby and rails 2.2.2. My problem is I have a migration that is not being correctly written to the database schema.
Here is my migration:
class CreateNotes < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
create_table(:notes, :options => 'ENGINE=MyISAM') do |t|
t.string :title
t.text :body
t.timestamps
end
execute "alter table notes ADD FULLTEXT(title, body)"
end
Here is what it produces on in schema.rb
create_table "notes", :force => true do |t|
t.string "title"
t.text "body"
t.datetime "created_at"
t.datetime "updated_at"
end
add_index "notes", ["title", "body"], :name => "title"
I have two question:
- How do I get
'ENGINE=MyISAM'
into the schema?
- Why did my execute statement become
add_index "notes", ["title", "body"], :name => "title"
? and how do I force migrations to leave it as an execute statement?
Thanks to Christian Lescuyer for the answer. However, when I tried this nothing changed. I uncommented the config.active_record... line but, my schema has not changed. I have tried this in jruby and on ruby 1.8.6 with rails 2.2.2 and edge rails and there is not changes in the schema. Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong?
As I use foreign key constraints, I use the SQL format for migrations. In environment.rb:
# Use SQL instead of Active Record's schema dumper when creating the test database.
# This is necessary if your schema can't be completely dumped by the schema dumper,
# like if you have constraints or database-specific column types
config.active_record.schema_format = :sql
I too expected to see a new .sql file appear after a "rake db:migrate", once I set
config.active_record.schema_format = :sql
in config/environment.rb.
Apparently that's not how it works, however. I have to do this explicitly to get a db/[development|test|production]_structure.sql file:
rake db:structure:dump
Just an update for those on Rails 3 (beta 4, currently) - Christian's solution is still correct, only the correct place to put the line is in config/application.rb
, under the scope of the Application
class which should be defined in a module named after your Rails project.
christian is right.
do
config.active_record.schema_format = :sql
in environment.rb
but then you have to use a different schema dump format and file location. try doing your migration and looking for "schema.sql" instead of scehema.rb
the reason for all of this is that the point of the scheme file is a database unspecific (works for all types of databases) file. so when you use features which only work on mysql through an unsupoorted execute statement, they can't be shoehorned in to schema.rb
To use the SQL variant for testing (instead of schema.rb), you'll need to use
rake db:test:clone_structure
Our schema uses UUIDs (uuid gem) and also Red Hill on Rails (RHoR) nice FK plug-in. Unfortunately, the FKs require PKs that can only be added using EXECUTES in the migrations.
It's well known that these executes do not make it to the schema.rb; however, it was harder to find the rake alternative to db:test:prepare for apps that cannot use schema.rb.
The following monkeypatch solves both the FULLTEXT index issue and DB engine option for your schema dumper (Rails 3.2). You can put it in config/initializers/
(e.g. schema_dumper_monkeypatch.rb
):
module ActiveRecord
class SchemaDumper
def table(table, stream)
columns = @connection.columns(table)
begin
tbl = StringIO.new
# first dump primary key column
if @connection.respond_to?(:pk_and_sequence_for)
pk, _ = @connection.pk_and_sequence_for(table)
elsif @connection.respond_to?(:primary_key)
pk = @connection.primary_key(table)
end
tbl.print " create_table #{remove_prefix_and_suffix(table).inspect}"
if columns.detect { |c| c.name == pk }
if pk != 'id'
tbl.print %Q(, :primary_key => "#{pk}")
end
else
tbl.print ", :id => false"
end
tbl.print ", :force => true"
# Add table engine
res = @connection.execute "SHOW TABLE STATUS LIKE '#{table}'"
engine = res.first[res.fields.index("Engine")] rescue nil
tbl.print ", :options => 'ENGINE=#{engine}'" if engine
res = nil # Free the result
tbl.puts " do |t|"
# then dump all non-primary key columns
column_specs = columns.map do |column|
raise StandardError, "Unknown type '#{column.sql_type}' for column '#{column.name}'" if @types[column.type].nil?
next if column.name == pk
spec = {}
spec[:name] = column.name.inspect
# AR has an optimization which handles zero-scale decimals as integers. This
# code ensures that the dumper still dumps the column as a decimal.
spec[:type] = if column.type == :integer && [/^numeric/, /^decimal/].any? { |e| e.match(column.sql_type) }
'decimal'
else
column.type.to_s
end
spec[:limit] = column.limit.inspect if column.limit != @types[column.type][:limit] && spec[:type] != 'decimal'
spec[:precision] = column.precision.inspect if column.precision
spec[:scale] = column.scale.inspect if column.scale
spec[:null] = 'false' unless column.null
spec[:default] = default_string(column.default) if column.has_default?
(spec.keys - [:name, :type]).each{ |k| spec[k].insert(0, "#{k.inspect} => ")}
spec
end.compact
# find all migration keys used in this table
keys = [:name, :limit, :precision, :scale, :default, :null] & column_specs.map{ |k| k.keys }.flatten
# figure out the lengths for each column based on above keys
lengths = keys.map{ |key| column_specs.map{ |spec| spec[key] ? spec[key].length + 2 : 0 }.max }
# the string we're going to sprintf our values against, with standardized column widths
format_string = lengths.map{ |len| "%-#{len}s" }

type_length = column_specs.map{ |column| column[:type].length }.max
# add column type definition to our format string
format_string.unshift " t.%-#{type_length}s "
format_string *= ''
column_specs.each do |colspec|
values = keys.zip(lengths).map{ |key, len| colspec.key?(key) ? colspec[key] + ", " : " " * len }
values.unshift colspec[:type]
tbl.print((format_string % values).gsub(/,\s*$/, ''))
tbl.puts
end
tbl.puts " end"
tbl.puts
