42. HW-part 1: Migration: Add another column called "credit_card" to the users table as following as part of ActiveRecord_Creation project. (Or you can create a new project and new database. I will call the new project as MyActiveRecord here.) The type of credit_card field is string. (4/21/09: done, HINT ON PAGE 76) OUTPUT: (in C:/cygwin/home/jasnow/RAILSPASSION/ActiveRecord_Creation)
    == 20090421151649 RenameEmailField: migrating =================================
    -- rename_column(:users, :email, :email_addr)
    -> 0.2011s
    == 20090421151649 RenameEmailField: migrated (0.2018s) ========================

    -> 0.1927s
    == 20090421162301 AddCreditCxard: migrated (0.1933s) ==========================
    
43. HW9-part 2: Validation: Add the following validation logic for the credit_card field.
    
1. It has to be unique.
2. User can enter the credit card format in the following format. The x has to be numeric value.
   
1. xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx (format #1)
   
2. xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx (format #2)
   
3. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (format #3) NOTE: 16 digits
   
44. HW9-part3: Callbacks: Use callbacks - before_save and before_create - to convert the format #1 and format #2 to format #3 meaning the actual table contains only format #3. (4/21/09: done, HINT ON PAGE 108) Loading development environment (Rails 2.1.0)
