活动记录关联中的数据库索引

Question

let's imagine this situation.I have a article model and a sort model,and they have a one-to-many association.

the article migration is :

create_table :articles do |t|
  t.string :title      
  t.string :content
  t.belongs_to :sort

  t.timestamps
end

the sort migration is :

create_table :sorts do |t|
    t.string :title  

    t.timestamps
end

so the article will be added a filed named sort_id .

now,I want to add an index on the filed sort_id in table articles .

whether I can realize as follow:

   add_index :articles, :sort, :unique => true 

or

  add_index :articles, :sort_id, :unique => true 

Answer 1

add_index :articles, :sort_id, :unique => true
