Better fallback for defauls on autoupgrade opration? #43

Open carlosacp opened 12 years ago

carlosacp commented 12 years ago

I Tried

class A include DataMapper::Resource property :id, Serial property :no_recipes_with, Object, default: "" end

and when autoupgrade :

rake db:autoupgrade rake aborted! BLOB/TEXT column 'no_recipes_with' can't have a default value

(mysql)

But if I remove the default value, upgrade the database, and put the default value again back, it works. Wouldn't be a better fall back if it uses de default value in model objects in this cases? Or I'm not supposed to use default value if upgrade fails?
