Rails scaffolding types

These types are valid since Rails version 2:

• string
• text (long text, up to 64k, often used for text areas)
• datetime
• date
• integer
• binary
• boolean
• float
• decimal (for financial data)
• time
• timestamp

Here is an example of using rails 3.x scaffolding with data types, run from the Rails application root directory:

ruby script/rails generate scaffold Modelname name:string title:string employed_on:date remarks:text
