Title
Body
I have a script using ActiveRecord that creates column names dynamically based on values read from a CSV file, something like this: FasterCSV.foreach('votes.csv', :headers => true) do |row| column_name = "roll_call_id_#{row['roll_call_id']}" if !Legislator.columns.map(&:name).include?(column_name) connection_pool.connection.add_column('legislators', column_name, 'string') end end The problem is that, after creating the new column, I can't do a legislator.update_attribute(column_name, value) because the class doesn't pick up the new column and complains it doesn't exist. How can I make it query the table structure again?
