I write the necessary components (classes, models, views), and poured them on the hosting. But in this case need to add to an existing table, one column of type :string. I do not know how to do this remotely, but locally run project I can not. ---

So…you have a migration that you want to run on the server? You would do this in the same way as you’d run it locally. If you’re using Capistrano, then cap deploy:migrate automates this. If you’re not using Capistrano, then start using it! Best, – Marnen Laibow-Koser [http://www.marnen.org](http://www.marnen.org) removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid ---
