Rails Migration - Integer Column only contains values of '1'
===

In a rails project, we are attempting to migrate data from one table to another. When we create the original table, we use (snippet):

    create_table :my_original_table do |t|
      #OTHER COLUMNS HERE
      t.integer :first_record_pub
    end
Then, when we create the second table to migrate to, we use:

    create_table :my_second_table do |t|
      #OTHER COLUMNS HERE
      t.integer :my_pub
    end
and finally, when we migrate the actual data, we use:

    original_value = MyOriginalTable.all
    original_value.each do |s|
      new_first_record = MySecondTable.new
      #OTHER DATA MIGRATIONS HERE
      new_first_record.my_pub = s.first_record_pub
      new_first_record.save
    end
All of the other columns that we migrate (the ones I commented out) migrate perfectly. However, in the migrated my_second_table, the my_pub column has some entries that are blank (expected, as some entries in the original table are blank), and the other entries simply have a value of '1'. The correct first_record_pub value was not correctly migrated over, for some reason.

Does anyone have any ideas as how to solve this issue?
Thanks!
