I need to do some precise math, going to 12-14 decimal places, so I’m
using BigDecimal. How can I store this in a db? I’m using postgresql
8.1.0, if that matters at all. I found a plugin [1] but it gives me
the error “You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it! The error
occurred while evaluating nil.each_pair,” with no line number. The
plugin itself never calls #each_pair, so it has to be somewhere inside
Rails or the postgres adapter. I’m using Rails 1.1.2 and the postgres
0.7.1 adapter.

Hi Pat

Can you be more specific about what you are trying to do? Maybe I can
help
track down the issue.

Hey Ashley,
I’m using Duane J.'s column_comments plugin [1], and that’s where
the error popped up. I’m not entirely sure why the error occurs, as I
just wrapped the problem code in an “unless cols.nil?..end” block.
Anyway it’s nothing wrong with your plugin. Now schema dumps actually
work 
Thanks for doing this, and I’ll look into the column_comments
plugin and get a solution for Duane.
