Will removing a column with a Rails migration remove indexes associated with the column

Question

In Rails 2, will removing a column with a Rails migration also change/remove indexes associated with the column? If not, and instead you have to also change/remove each ind

Answer 1

Just as a caution, while Rails 4 will remove the index for you if you remove the column, you should specify the column type. Without a column type, running rake db:rollback will return

rake aborted!
StandardError: An error has occurred, all later migrations canceled:

remove_column is only reversible if given a type.

I was experimenting with dropping foreign key columns that were indexed. Even specifying index: true in the change block didn't seem to make the columns reversible on rollback.
