column(name, type, options = {})
This column method instantiates a new column with the specified name for the table, returning
the TableDefinition instance on which the column method was called. Valid values for the

The available options are :limit, :default, :null, :precision, and :scale. None of the

The :limit option specifies the maximum length for values in the column. This option is
only valid for columns of type :string, :text, :binary, and :integer.
The :default option specifies the default value of this database column. Specifying
:default => nil will result in a default of NULL.
The :null option, either true or false, specifies whether NULL values should be allowed in
this database column.
The :precision option specifies the precision of the database column.
