How to add `unique` constraint to already existing index by migration

Question

How can I add unique: true constraint to already existing index in Rails database?

I tried to migrate by

  def change
    add_index :editabi         


        

Answer 1

Faster way using add_index_options:

def change
  add_index_options :editabilities, [:user_id, :list_id], unique: true
end

Answer 2

Remove the old index and add it again with the new constraint:

def change
  remove_index :editabilities, [:user_id, :list_id]
  add_index :editabilities, [:user_id, :list_id], unique: true
end
