I need to remove uniqueness constraint to make devise work.

Hi,

As the title says. I have been advised to create a migration: column: change_column :users, :email, uniqueness: false. How do I do that, do I do this in the terminal or manually input in the DB file and save it?

Many thanks,

Ben.

To do it the Rails Way you need to generate a migration in the terminal with:

$ rails generate migration give_the_migration_a_name_here

Then edit the resulting migration file in db/migrate putting your commands inside the def change block. After you save the file run rails db:migrate
