Hi,

number it throws an error
“1325565488 is out of range for ActiveRecord::Type::Integer with limit

As the datatype for the column in the database.

Use a string data type for the number.

goto your db folder and in the migration change the phone number field
data type from integer to string. and thats all. but u will will to do
rake db:migrate
after that.

It is best to add a new migration to do this.

Agreed. If you change an old migration, and run rake db:migrate
NOTHING
will happen, because that migration is already saved in the database
table
‘schema_migrations’. You either need to create a new migration, or you
have
to drop the data base and re-run all the migrations.
I once tried to circumvent this in a panic situation by deleting the
schema
migration record and re-running the migration, but it was such a crazy
thing to try, I gave up.
My advice is to do just as Colin suggested, and use a new migration to
change the table.

Hi Tamouse, I don’t think we received it once, let alone twice. At
least I did not see it.

It’s helpful to think of migrations as “version control for your
database”. They capture the steps along the way to where you are now
(the schema.rb is the current state, or HEAD, of your migrations).

Thank u guys a lot! It helped me
I had similar kind of problems, but unfortunately nothing helped me. I even wrote on the forums and did not find the correct answer for this. But I also had such a problem that I wanted to create accounts on some sites, but I needed a confirmation with a mobile number, and I did not want to show my mobile phone to different sites, because I am doing business. So I decided to google what to do in this situation and came across VerifyWithSMS . And now, using this service, I create any accounts on any sites without a mobile number
