sorry if this questions is overly basic or has been asked before but I simply cannot figure it out.
On my Ruby on Rails site, I have a controller that accesses the fields of a table in my database and displays their “Name” field as a drop-down menu in one of my views. My problem is I need to change the options of that dropdown menu so I need a way to get into the MySQL database and change the values of those fields.
Anyone know of a way to do this? It would be much appreciated. Thank you.
If you are asking how to modify the database directly, then there are several options that you might find a little easier than using a migration. Your server may already support phpMyAdmin, a web based interface to your DB. Alternatively there are rich client apps that you can configure to manage/edit local and remote MySQL DBs. My favorite on the Mac is Sequel Pro.
Of course, you could also do this from the MySQL command line.
