class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_Default_Value_in_Rails_Migration\"><\/span>Adding a Default Value in Rails Migration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To add a default value to a column in Rails migration, you can make use of the `change_column_default` method provided by Rails. This method allows you to set a default value for the specified column in an existing table.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an example of how you can add a default value using Rails migration:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;`ruby<br \/>\nclass AddDefaultValueToColumn < ActiveRecord::Migration[6.0]<br \/>\n  def change<br \/>\n    change_column_default :table_name, :column_name, default_value<br \/>\n  end<br \/>\nend<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n<p>In the above code snippet, replace `table_name` with the name of your table, `column_name` with the name of the column to modify, and `default_value` with the desired default value you want to set.<\/p>\n<p>For example, let&#8217;s say we have a `users` table with a column named `status` and we want to set the default value of `status` to &#8216;active&#8217;. We can achieve this using the following migration:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;`ruby<br \/>\nclass AddDefaultStatusToUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration[6.0]<br \/>\n  def change<br \/>\n    change_column_default :users, :status, &#8216;active&#8217;<br \/>\n  end<br \/>\nend<br \/>\n&#8220;` <\/p>\n<p>Running this migration will set the default value for the `status` column to &#8216;active&#8217;. Now, new rows inserted into the `users` table without explicitly providing a value for `status` will have the default value.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_I_remove_a_default_value_from_a_column\"><\/span>How can I remove a default value from a column?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nTo remove a default value from a column, you can use the `change_column_default` method again and provide `nil` as the default value.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_specify_more_complex_default_values_like_calling_a_method_or_using_an_expression\"><\/span>Can I specify more complex default values like calling a method or using an expression?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nYes, you can set more complex default values. You can use a string or an SQL expression as your default value.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_set_a_default_value_to_be_the_result_of_a_database_function\"><\/span>Can I set a default value to be the result of a database function?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nYes, you can execute raw SQL to set the default value if it involves database functions.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_happens_to_existing_rows_when_I_add_a_default_value\"><\/span>What happens to existing rows when I add a default value?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nThe default value only applies to new rows inserted into the table.
