I need to change my column type from date to datetime for an app I am making. I don't care about the data as its still being developed.

How can I do this?

mysql ruby-on-rails ruby ruby-on-rails-3 migration

Also, if you're using Rails 3 or newer you don't have to use the up and down methods. You can just use change:

class ChangeFormatInMyTable < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    change_column :my_table, :my_column, :my_new_type
  end
end
