Data Migration?

[andyl]

MiniRecord looks fantastic - thanks!!!

Question: During a migration, sometimes I need to to more than just modify the database schema. For example, I might want to migrate data from an old column to a new column, before deleting the old column.

class TestMigration < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    add_column :phones, :number, :string
    execute ("update phones set number = concat(area_code, prefix, suffix)")
    remove_column :phones, :area_code
    remove_column :phones, :prefix
    remove_column :phones, :suffix
  end
end

Can I do something like this with mini_record ??

Sure! Open your console, in padrino padrino console in rails should be some like rails console, the simply require that file ie: require 'db/migrations/test_migration.rb'.
