Forgive me if this has been discussed. I’m new to rails and not sure  
where to check yet. Also… forgive me if this shows up twice. I tried  
posting first through the google groups interface and I’m not sure if it  
went through.

I have rails 1.2.3 installed.

I have a migration that looks like

create\_table :test\_runs do |t|  
t.column :test\_spec\_id, :integer  
t.column :parent\_id, :integer  
t.column :hostname, :string  
t.column :start\_time, :datetime  
t.column :duration, :decimal  
t.column :result, :string  
t.column :xml\_result, :text, :limit =\> 10.megabytes  
end

after running “rake db:migrate”… the schema.rb contains

create\_table “test\_runs”, :force =\> true do |t|  
t.column “test\_spec\_id”, :integer  
t.column “parent\_id”, :integer  
t.column “hostname”, :string  
t.column “start\_time”, :datetime  
t.column “duration”, :integer, :limit =\> 10, :precision =\>  
10, :scale =\> 0  
t.column “result”, :string  
t.column “xml\_result”, :text  
end

Note that the :limit option for the column :xml\_result has not carried  
over to the schema.rb file.

Is this a known issue?

thanks,  
-frank
