      # Known issue in MySQL: fractional second precision
      # -------------------------------------------------
      #
      # MySQL timestamp columns do not support fractional seconds unless
      # defined with "fractional seconds precision". MySQL users should manually
      # add fractional seconds precision to this migration, specifically, to
      # the `created_at` column.
      # (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/fractional-seconds.html)
      #
      # MySQL users should also upgrade to rails 4.2, which is the first
      # version of ActiveRecord with support for fractional seconds in MySQL.

  # Even modern versions of MySQL still use `latin1` as the default character
  # encoding. Many users are not aware of this, and run into trouble when they
  # try to use PaperTrail in apps that otherwise tend to use UTF-8. Postgres, by
  # comparison, uses UTF-8 except in the unusual case where the OS is configured
  # with a custom locale.

  # Furthermore, MySQL's original implementation of UTF-8 was flawed, and had
  # to be fixed later by introducing a new charset, `utf8mb4`.
