Create an array column

An array column is supported by PostgreSQL. Rails will automatically convert a PostgreSQL array to a Ruby array, and vice-versa.

Create a table with an array column:

create_table :products do |t|
  t.string :name
  t.text :colors, array: true, default: []
end

Add an array column to an existing table:

add_column :products, :colors, array: true, default: []

Add an index for an array column:

add_index :products, :colors, using: 'gin'
