Ruby on Rails

Hello.

I created a simple database to test adding a column in an active record migration.  Using phpMyAdmin and ROR, this is the code I used for the migration:

class AddColumns < ActiveRecord::Migration

  def self.up

      add_column :users, :need_it, :boolean

  end

  def self.down

      remove_column :users, :need_it

  end

end

the migration went successfully, as I can see the newly created column in phpMyAdmin.

The column is, trying to be, mapped to a checkbox, located in the _form.html.erb file:

<%= form_for(@user) do |f| %>

....

...

...

<div class="field">

  <%= f. label :need_it &><br>

  <%= f.check_box :need_it %>

</div>

...

<% end %>

But when I enter a new user and select the checkbox, or edit a current user's checkbox field, the new value doesn't show in the database (MySQL).

What am I missing?

Thanks.
