Rails setting a maximum length on a string -
the first time i've set string length maximum in rails.
it looks can add workorder model:
validates_length_of :description, :maximum => 100
and can create migration this:
change_column :workorders, :description, :string, :limit => 100
do need both?
you should include in migration, because defines actual structure of database. constrain maximum storage size limit of column (past point, see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/char.html more details). additionally, it's possible more rails app touch database.
including in validation practice robustness, though not strictly required.
