I have created a migration to add a column named `blurb` to a table with only one other column called `full_name`. After I run my migrations, this new column appears to be added when I check from the database console of postgresql database, but not from the Rails app console. Then after a period of time, it vanishes from the postgresql console as well. I don't know how to account for this. My migration was created using the rails migration generator and it's a :text field. class AddBlurbToPeople < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up add_column :people, :blurb, :text end def self.down remove_column :people, :blurb end end Any help would be much appreciated.
