Okay so I was just starting this rails app and generated my first model

ruby script/generate model Grid req:string class:string ctitle:string credits:float grade:string pass:boolean

created my table

rake db:migrate (in C:/Users/Michael/InstantRails/rails_apps/studentGrid) == CreateGrids: migrating ==================================================== -- create_table(:grids) -> 0.0150s == CreateGrids: migrated (0.0150s) ===========================================

and went to the console to add some data to my table

Grid => Grid(id: integer, req: string, class: string, ctitle: string, credits: float, grade: string, pass: boolean, created_at: datetime, updated_at: datetime) Grid.create(:req=>"Math Elective", :class=>"Math 111", :ctitle=>"Calculus I", :credits=>3.0)

Pretty standard I thought, but then I get this error and I don't understand why
