- Tag changed from “2.3.x, activerecord, active_record, fail, mysql, test” to “2.3.x, activerecord, active_record, fail, mysql, patch, test”
In activerecord/test/schema/schema.rb you will see that the :name attribute in defined for the :authors has the :null => false property. I have corrected the test in the attached patch.

Verified on mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.45, for apple-darwin8.5.1 (i686) using readline 5.0

With the current patch, the test succeeds on MySQL, but now it fails on SQLite3.
