migration 1, :create_registrants do
  up do
    create_table :registrants do
      column :id, Integer, :serial => true
      column :email, String, :size => 255
      column :preferred_username, String, :size => 255
      column :display_name, String, :size => 255

      column :raw, Text
    end
  end

  down do
    drop_table :registrants
  end
end

Causes an Anonymous modules have no name to be referenced by error, changing the text-line to read column :raw, DataMapper::Types::Text resolves this (I believe that this is covered in another ticket.)

However the output is:

 == Performing Up Migration #1: create_registrants

Column length too big for column 'raw' (max = 21845); use BLOB or TEXT instead

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

Expected output naturally is ...snip... raw TEXT) ENGINE = InnoDB ...snip.... (where raw should still have backticks, Lighthouse ate my ticks!)

I've made a few passes at refactoring this… and the irony is that this is JSON data… if there were some good documentation for DM-Types I might have been able to use that and never have to file this report!

It should be noted that using Object worked as expected… but then base64 encodes a marshalled ruby object, which is simply too much obfuscation when all I really want to store is JSON data :)

Thanks guys, I really love the paradigm you are working towards… still a few too many rough edges though!
