Creating Columns

This Laravel package gives case sensative string fields with length and also as primary and foreign key by adding a real binary column to migrations.

migrations

    Schema::create('currency', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->realBinary('code', 3)->unique();
        // works as well
        // $table->char('code', 3)->charset('binary')->unique();
        // more fields
    });

    Schema::create('country', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->string('id')->unique();
        $table->realBinary('currency', 3);
        // works as well
        // $table->char('currency', 3)->charset('binary');

        $table->foreign('currency')->references('code')->on('currency');
    });
