Rails 2.0 has introduced a new and easy way to alter the attributes of a model.

To add an attribute “author” to a model “post” :

script/generate migration AddAuthorToPost author:string

To delete this attribute :

script/generate migration RemoveAuthorFromPost author:string

Add and Remove specify the action to do and Post, separated by To or From, is the name of the model.

Don’t forget to run the migration by using :

rake db:migrate
