Change a column type from Date to DateTime during ROR migration

Question

I need to change my column type from date to datetime for an app I am making. I don\'t care about the data as its still being developed.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

There's a change_column method, just execute it in your migration with datetime as a new type.

change_column(:my_table, :my_column, :my_new_type)
