Schema.rb and MySQL decimal

Hi,

I have a mysql schema with some decimal(20,20) fields. Now, I made a
rake db_schema_dump for deployment of my applications on other machines.
Rails created a schema.rb with the decimal fields as float.
After a rake db_schema_import the fields are just float not decimal. How
can I force rails to create decimal(20,20) columns instead of float?

Thx.

Marc,

This is what I’ve been working on in a decimals patch:
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/4274

See my recent post re decimal support, as there is an issue with the
schema
dumper where you will get decimal rather than decimal(20,20) but this is
a 2
line fix I might even do tonight.

So what’s the status on this? Will we be able to create decimal columns
from
a schema.rb any time soon? I have tests failing because I originially
created my DB with a SQL file, but when it goes to test the decimals are
set
to floats…
