I haven't had the time to make the adjustments myself to ensure both databases work. Mislav: I talked with Tarmo about this and he said the patch, by enabling postgres, may not work well with MySQL.

I think it would not be hard to apply it and eliminate the overhead for the whole world to use? Umm… the patch Tarmo sent is not yet applied to trunk.

I do have one problem, however. I can get column_comments to work just fine, but comments do not appear when I include them in table creation. Example create_table "blah" do |t| t.column "abbr", :string,:comment => "Short-name (abbreviation) for quick-reference." ... As far as I can tell, options[:comment] is empty in this case. Any ideas? I'm using 1.1.2, frozen (all source in vendor dir). Great stuff. I do have one problem, however.

As you can see it sets the comments at the end of the create_tabel function because postgresql 'CREATE TABLE' does not allow directly specifiying comments lik mysql. Perhaps you could remove the 'add_column_options!' method and only rely on the 'column_comment' method? otherwise postgresql requires a different create_table method.

Patch here: http://tarmo.itech.ee/column_comments_postgresql.patch As this is my first patch for activerecord I can't guarantee that it's perfect, but it seems to work fine here.

I was thinking of creating something like this myself. Keeping little notes like this definitely makes a lot of sense. Great job, Duane! I was thinking of creating something like this myself.
