Represents a SQL table in an abstract way. Columns are stored as ColumnDefinition in the columns attribute.

192: @base = base
193: end
Returns a ColumnDefinition for the column with name name.

203: @columns.find {|column| column.name.to_s == name.to_s}
204: end
Instantiates a new column for the table. The type parameter must be one of the following values: :primary_key, :string, :text, :integer, :float, :datetime, :timestamp, :time, :date, :binary, :boolean.
Available options are (none of these exists by default):
- :limit: Requests a maximum column length (:string, :text, :binary or :integer columns only)
- :default: The column’s default value. You cannot explicitely set the default value to NULL. Simply leave off this option if you want a NULL default value.
- :null: Allows or disallows NULL values in the column. This option could have been named :null_allowed.
This method returns self.
Examples
# Assuming def is an instance of TableDefinition def.column(:granted, :boolean) #=> granted BOOLEAN def.column(:picture, :binary, :limit => 2.megabytes) #=> picture BLOB(2097152) def.column(:sales_stage, :string, :limit => 20, :default => 'new', :null => false) #=> sales_stage VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT 'new' NOT NULL

237: def column(name, type, options = {})
238: column = self[name] || ColumnDefinition.new(@base, name, type)
239: column.limit = options[:limit] || native[type.to_sym][:limit] if options[:limit] or native[type.to_sym]
240: column.default = options[:default]
241: column.null = options[:null]
242: @columns << column unless @columns.include? column
243: self
244: end
Appends a primary key definition to the table definition. Can be called multiple times, but this is probably not a good idea.

197: def primary_key(name)
198: column(name, native[:primary_key])
199: end
Returns a String whose contents are the column definitions concatenated together. This string can then be pre and appended to to generate the final SQL to create the table.
