+ # == 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
