Specify custom index name when using add_reference

Question

I have the following migration

class LinkDoctorsAndSpecializations < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def up
    add_reference :doctors, :doctor_specialization, poly         


        

Answer 1

I've heard the best way to fix this is to just leave it out of the add reference line and specify it manually below much like in the last line of your question

add_index :table, :column, :name => 'index name'
