# Migrations can manage the evolution of a schema used by several physical databases. It's a solution
# to the common problem of adding a field to make a new feature work in your local database, but being unsure of how to
# push that change to other developers and to the production server. With migrations, you can describe the transformations
# in self-contained classes that can be checked into version control systems and executed against another database that
# might be one, two, or five versions behind.
#
# Example of a simple migration:
#
# class AddSsl < ActiveRecord::Migration
# def self.up
# add_column :accounts, :ssl_enabled, :boolean, :default => 1
# end
#
# def self.down
# remove_column :accounts, :ssl_enabled
# end
# end
#
# This migration will add a boolean flag to the accounts table and remove it again, if you're backing out of the migration.
# It shows how all migrations have two class methods +up+ and +down+ that describes the transformations required to implement
# or remove the migration. These methods can consist of both the migration specific methods, like add_column and remove_column,
# but may also contain regular Ruby code for generating data needed for the transformations.
#
# Example of a more complex migration that also needs to initialize data:
#
# class AddSystemSettings < ActiveRecord::Migration
# def self.up
# create_table :system_settings do |t|
# t.column :name, :string
# t.column :label, :string
# t.column :value, :text
# t.column :type, :string
# t.column :position, :integer
# end
#
# SystemSetting.create :name => "notice", :label => "Use notice?", :value => 1
# end
#
# def self.down
# drop_table :system_settings
# end
# end
#
# This migration first adds the system_settings table, then creates the very first row in it using the Active Record model
# that relies on the table. It also uses the more advanced create_table syntax where you can specify a complete table schema
# in one block call.
#
# == Available transformations
#
# * <tt>create_table(name, options)</tt> Creates a table called +name+ and makes the table object available to a block
# that can then add columns to it, following the same format as add_column. See example above. The options hash is for
# fragments like "DEFAULT CHARSET=UTF-8" that are appended to the create table definition.
# * <tt>drop_table(name)</tt>: Drops the table called +name+.
# * <tt>add_column(table_name, column_name, type, options)</tt>: Adds a new column to the table called +table_name+
# named +column_name+ specified to be one of the following types:
# :string, :text, :integer, :float, :datetime, :timestamp, :time, :date, :binary, :boolean. A default value can be specified
# by passing an +options+ hash like { :default => 11 }.
# * <tt>rename_column(table_name, column_name, new_column_name)</tt>: Renames a column but keeps the type and content.
# * <tt>change_column(table_name, column_name, type, options)</tt>: Changes the column to a different type using the same
# parameters as add_column.
# * <tt>remove_column(table_name, column_name)</tt>: Removes the column named +column_name+ from the table called +table_name+.
# * <tt>add_index(table_name, column_name, index_type)</tt>: Add a new index with the name of the column on the column. Specify an optional index_type (e.g. UNIQUE).
# * <tt>remove_index(table_name, column_name)</tt>: Remove the index called the same as the column.
#
# == Irreversible transformations
#
# Some transformations are destructive in a manner that cannot be reversed. Migrations of that kind should raise
# an <tt>IrreversibleMigration</tt> exception in their +down+ method.
#
# == Running migrations from within Rails
#
# The Rails package has support for migrations with the <tt>script/generate migration my_new_migration</tt> command and
# with the <tt>rake migrate</tt> command that'll run all the pending migrations. It'll even create the needed schema_info
# table automatically if it's missing.
#
# == Database support
#
# Migrations are currently only supported in MySQL and PostgreSQL.
#
# == More examples
#
# Not all migrations change the schema. Some just fix the data:
#
# class RemoveEmptyTags < ActiveRecord::Migration
# def self.up
# Tag.find(:all).each { |tag| tag.destroy if tag.pages.empty? }
# end
#
# def self.down
# # not much we can do to restore deleted data
# end
# end
#
# Others remove columns when they migrate up instead of down:
#
# class RemoveUnnecessaryItemAttributes < ActiveRecord::Migration
# def self.up
# remove_column :items, :incomplete_items_count
# remove_column :items, :completed_items_count
# end
#
# def self.down
# add_column :items, :incomplete_items_count
# add_column :items, :completed_items_count
# end
# end
#
# And some times you need to do something in SQL not abstracted directly by migrations:
#
# class MakeJoinUnique < ActiveRecord::Migration
# def self.up
# execute "ALTER TABLE `pages_linked_pages` ADD UNIQUE `page_id_linked_page_id` (`page_id`,`linked_page_id`)"
# end
#
# def self.down
# execute "ALTER TABLE `pages_linked_pages` DROP INDEX `page_id_linked_page_id`"
# end
# end
#
# == Using the class after changing table
#
# Some times you'll want to add a column in a migration and populate it immediately after. In that case, you'll need
# to make a call to Base#reset_column_information in order to ensure that the class has the latest column data from
# after the new column was added. Example:
#
# class MakeJoinUnique < ActiveRecord::Migration
# def self.up
# add_column :people, :salary, :integer
# Person.find(:all).each do |p|
# p.salary = SalaryCalculator.compute(p)
# end
# end
# end
