                Friendly URLs in Rails
              
          
    Friendly URLs

By default, Rails applications build URLs based on the primary key -- the id column from the database. Imagine we have a Person model and associated controller. We have a person record for Bob Martin that has id number 6. The URL for his show page would be:
/people/6

But, for aesthetic or SEO purposes, we want Bob's name in the URL. The last segment, the 6 here, is called the "slug". Let's look at a few ways to implement better slugs.

  
## migration_integer_limit_option
 literally always have to look up the meaning of :limit in migrations when it comes to integer values. Here's an overview. Now let's memorise it (oh, this works for MySQL, other databases may work differently):

:limit	    Numeric Type	Column Size	Max value
1	     tinyint	         1 byte	          127
2	     smallint	         2 bytes	32767
3	     mediumint	         3 byte	        8388607
nil, 4, 11    int(11)	         4 byte	       2147483647
5..8	      bigint	         8 byte	     9223372036854775807

Note: by default MySQL uses signed integers and Rails has no way (that I know of) to change this behaviour. Subsequently, the max. values noted are for signed integers.
