Migrations And You!
This week’s post from me to you is about migrations. “What are migrations,” you ask? They’re ways to update the schema of a database without actually touching icky SQL syntax. I actually like touching SQL, but if you don’t then migrations are the way to go! They’re also useful for keeping the changes of the database saved in some kind of format so you remember what you changed.
So here’s some posts about migrations! The first is from rails wiki. This is a pretty sweet source. I used to refer to this a lot when I was learning RoR. It’s the first link on Google, so it must be good!

Just because we use cheats doesn’t mean we’re not smart
So here’s a migrations cheatsheet

Thanks for the resource link! And had to love the konami code reference. Cheats heh heh heh. I’m working on a blog and I’ll be adding more content and I’ll definitely add a section on migrations for people who don’t want to touch the “icky SQL syntax”
Still the few runs I had with SQL it didn’t seem like icky. I mean it seemed downright simple.
Anyhow my blog is at Database 2 Go! Check it out sometime later.

Oh my God his back?! Well a lot of people seem to get that surprise without knowing I usually subscribe to the blogs I like. Just because I want people to know about my blog doesn’t mean Im in post a comment and I’m out.
I post this comment here, well because I didn’t want to go and post somewhere unrelated.
Anyhow do you happen to have any more posts on sql?
