tinytext
is a valid MySQL data type that indicates a 255-byte string field, and is easily stubbed with varchar or text fields for the other DBMS's. tinyInteger is lonely! Currently,tinytext
is not implemented for use in Blueprint.This PR aims to add the
tinyText
method to Blueprint, with the nativetinytext
data type being used for MySQL; SQLite will use atext
field, Postgres will use avarchar(255)
field, and SQL Server will use anvarchar(255)
.This PR only adds new functionality, so it would be backwards compatible since no one would be using
tinyText
in their migrations.This could be helpful to those that wanted native support for the
tinytext
data type in MySQL databases.
