What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Using MySQL 5.0.45-Debian_1ubuntu3.3, Ubuntu 7.10, php5, latest cakephp-1.2beta, latest Migrations, DBM2-2.4.1, DBM2_Driver_MySQL-1.4.1

2. Using the following yaml:

UP: create_table: appliances: no_dates name: [string, 64, notnull] description: [string, notnull] DOWN: drop_table: - appliances

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Creates unexpected field "type varchar(255)"

I noticed this problem when was trying to move to migrations. I've created full_schema, then dropped all tables and tried to import schema with migration tool. Two tables of 8 failed because of SQL native errors.

[001] Initial Structure ...
    > creating table 'appliances'
    > creating table 'appliances_resource_types'
    > creating table 'consumption_data'

    > creating table 'users_appliances'

As you can see: DEFAULT and TYPE fields appeared :-(

Cheers, Alex.

Try this:

UP: create_table: appliances: no_dates: true name: [string, 64, notnull] description: [string, notnull] DOWN: drop_table: - appliances

That works. But I was using code generated my migration. I suggest the schema should be generate more precisely.

Thanks.
