Question

I have a table and I had to add a migration script to add rows in the table.
Please help with the rails generate migration command to insert data into the table.

Thanks,
Ramya.

You can write regular ruby code inside a migration. So you can simply do something like this:

class Foo < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    User.create(:username => "Hello", :role => "Admin")
  end
  def self.down
    User.delete_all(:username => "Hello")
  end
end

Just write regular ruby inside your migration same as you would in pry or rails console.
