How to migrate column type DOUBLE via cakephp phinx migrations? - mysql

Question

I'm trying to migrate table from db1 to db2 with using Phinx migrations, but i have a problem with one table where i have column type DOUBLE. I know that supported types are there Phinx column type, but it is possible to specify FLOAT type to get DOUBLE in diff_migration ? I use cakephp version 3.5.6.
My example migration_diff
<?php
use Migrations\AbstractMigration;
class Diff003 extends AbstractMigration
{
public function up()
{
$this->table('test_double')
->addColumn('double1', 'float', [ // here type DOUBLE is changing to FLOAT
'default' => null,
'limit' => null,
'null' => true,
])
->addColumn('double2', 'float', [
'default' => null,
'limit' => null,
'null' => true,
])
->create();
}
public function down()
{
$this->dropTable('test_double');
}
}

The DOUBLE type has been implemented recently, and will probably be available in the next Phinx release (it's been added as of version 0.10.7), see https://github.com/cakephp/phinx/pull/1493.
Until then you can for example use the custom column type feature:
->addColumn('double1', \Phinx\Util\Literal::from('DOUBLE'), [
// ...
])
or manually add the columns via raw SQL, something like:
$this->execute('ALTER TABLE test_double ADD COLUMN double1 DOUBLE NULL');
or if you're adventurous, use the Phinx master branch until the stable release is available:
composer require robmorgan/phinx:dev-master
->addColumn('double1', 'double', [
// ...
])
