Changing a column name with migration failed

Rails
1

Hi All,

I had a column-name “changed” that I wanted to replaced with
“accessed”.

I tried:
class ModifyChangedAttribute < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
rename_column(:csvs, :created, :accessed)
end

def self.down
rename_column(:csvs, :accessed, :created)
end
end

The migration failed:

  1. It was apparent because rake db/migrate returned only one line
    indicating the app’s “home”
  2. Sqlite3’s .dump table_name showed that “created” was unchanged.

I see now that I provided no table_name to the migration. How do I do
that?

I’m running:
ruby 1.8.6
Rails 2.2.1
Win-Pro/SP3

Thanks in Advance,
Richard

BTW, I put up all the code on http://www.pastie.org/343735

HTH,

My earlier statement, “I don’t have a column name” is incorrect.

The statement:
rename_column(:csvs, :created, :accessed)
provided the table_name “cvs” as symbol, the old_name “created” as a
symbol, and the new_name.

So I don’t have a clue as to what’s wrong. All the code is on
http://www.pastie.org/343735, as I mentioned before.

Again, thanks for any insights you may offer,
Richard
