Arel 0.3.2 broke non-standard column types

Adding the file. Was showing the old one for me. Probably just caching on my end but want to be sure.

I'm getting this error now also. Trying to save PostGIS geometry types back to the database. String would be the correct way to handle these columns as they get shuffled in and out normally as Hex.

NotImplementedError: Column type is not currently handled<br/>

here's a patch that should work

The problems still occurs when using custom data types, which is quite common when using pgsql.

Either there should be a way to easily add custom datatypes with their mapping or the adapter should fallback to :string for unknown types.

Same problem here. I'm currently migrating our app from Rails 2.3.5 to 3.0b4. We use custom pgsql types which is a really common thing.

class CreateModel < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    # Create a custom column type
    execute %{ CREATE TYPE custom_column_type AS ENUM ('item1', 'item2'); }
    
    create_table :models do |t|
      t.column    :custom_column, :custom_column_type
      t.timestamps
    end
  end

  def self.down
    drop_table :models
    execute %{ DROP TYPE custom_column_type; }
  end
end

I see the same stack than above:
