@wdm: Sorry I’m a few months late - you need to install the MDB2 database driver seperately, even though the pear install on MDB2 claims that it’s already set them up. e.g.

pear install MDB2_Driver_mysql

Hope this helps anyone else stuck with similar problems. Cake Migrate is a pain to set up, but well worth it if you want to keep revision tracking of db structure.

Is there any place where we can see the full examples of using migrations within a yml file?

The “PEAR NOT FOUND” error seems to occur even if you do have pear installed, but not MDB2

pear install MDB2 at the command line will install MDB2, and the error should go away,


You might need to first set your php path in ~/.bash_profile. This makes sure pear will be talking to the MAMP php version, mine looks like:

# Set PATH for php (override default /bin/php) export PATH=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin:$PATH

But… now I have a new error. After typing ‘cake migrate help’ I get:

Warning: MDB2::include_once(MDB2/Driver/postgres.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/lib/php/MDB2.php on line 332

Warning: MDB2::include_once(): Failed opening 'MDB2/Driver/postgres.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/lib/php') in /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/lib/php/MDB2.php on line 332 Error: MDB2 ERROR unable to find package 'MDB2_Driver_postgres' file 'MDB2/Driver/postgres.php'

Hi,
I’ve a problem with installation.
I use MAMP and Pear is already installed with it, but not MDB2.
I tried to install necessery package but all time when I try to run ‘cake migrate’ I see:
” Error: PEAR NOT FOUND
Unable to include PEAR.php and MDB2.php”

How should I install MDB2 to MAMP?

While this may just be me, I was consistently getting an error with Migrations 4.0rc1 when I tried to run “migrate generate from db” to build the full_schema.yml file: “PHP Fatal error: Class ‘ConnectionManager’ not found in /usr/local/lib/cake-1.2/vendors/shells/migrate.php on line 465″.

This was solved by adding “connection_manager” to the App::import line at the start of the migrate.php file.

Just started using it. I am actually wonder why PEAR and MDB2 is needed, as Cake already have a bunch of drivers under cake.cake.libs.model.datasources. It seems that using less dependencies would be far better than using some external dependencies, given that the core already have the needed features.

Also filed a bug in Google Code. Have a nice day!

This is what I tried, but the resulting column is NULL instead of NOT NULL
UP: add_field: games: my_flag: type: boolean length: 1 not_null: DOWN: drop_field: games: [my_flag]

Hi!, I was wondering, how do you add a boolean column to a table that is not_null?

I’ve tried many ways but can’t get it to work.
