booleans in rails with sqlite

Question

I am a bit of a noob still with rails, but I am running across something that seems a bit odd. I added a boolean field to a model in the database thusly

t.column         


        

Answer 1

The problem may be with the database migration. I don't think that :bool is the right data type name to use. Try :boolean instead, e.g.

t.column :admin, :boolean, :default => false, :null => false

Answer 2

Use this instead:

t.column :admin, :boolean, :default => false, :null => false
