Hello --

I know that I can use serialize to declare hashes or arrays in a class
that need to be used in the db. From 
http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Base.html:

  class User < ActiveRecord::Base
    serialize :preferences
  end

  user = User.create(:preferences => { "background" => "black",
"display" => large })

My question is what type do you give the variable :preferences for the
migration? In:

ruby script/generate migration _add_hash_column preferences:???

What is ??? -- text, string, something else?

Thanks!
Madison
