jQuery's documentation states:
[jQuery.val] checks, or selects, all the radio buttons, checkboxes, and select options that match the set of values.
This behavior is in jQuery
versions 1.2
and above.
You most likely want this:
$("._statusDDL").val('2');
rename_column :table, :old_column, :new_column
You'll probably want to create a separate migration to do this. (Rename FixColumnName
as you will.):
script/generate migration FixColumnName
# creates db/migrate/xxxxxxxxxx_fix_column_name.rb
Then edit the migration to do your will:
# db/migrate/xxxxxxxxxx_fix_column_name.rb
class FixColumnName < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
rename_column :table_name, :old_column, :new_column
end
def self.down
# rename back if you need or do something else or do nothing
end
end
For Rails 3.1 use:
While, the up
and down
methods still apply, Rails 3.1 receives a change
method that "knows how to migrate your database and reverse it when the migration is rolled back without the need to write a separate down method".
See "Active Record Migrations" for more information.
rails g migration FixColumnName
class FixColumnName < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
rename_column :table_name, :old_column, :new_column
end
end
If you happen to have a whole bunch of columns to rename, or something that would have required repeating the table name over and over again:
rename_column :table_name, :old_column1, :new_column1
rename_column :table_name, :old_column2, :new_column2
...
You could use change_table
to keep things a little neater:
class FixColumnNames < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
change_table :table_name do |t|
t.rename :old_column1, :new_column1
t.rename :old_column2, :new_column2
...
end
end
end
Then just db:migrate
as usual or however you go about your business.
For Rails 4:
While creating a Migration
for renaming a column, Rails 4 generates a change
method instead of up
and down
as mentioned in the above section. The generated change
method is:
$ > rails g migration ChangeColumnName
which will create a migration file similar to:
class ChangeColumnName < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
rename_column :table_name, :old_column, :new_column
end
end
Best Answer
Your question is very confusing, are you trying to revert a migration or are you trying to simply drop a column that you previously added?
Simple answer, modify your model (by removing the column) and add a new migration. This new migration will include the DropColumn command to remove the column.
If you are trying to revert a migration, you need to:
Where "Migration" is the name of the migration prior to the one you are trying to revert. Additionally, if you need to revert to the original state you can use:
