Rails - Sep 2008 - Generate rails models from an existing database

Hi,

I have used a tool to create a rails conform database, meaning that
all the tables and columns follow the rails conventions. The foreign
keys and relationship tables/columns also exist.

Now I would like to generate all the models from this existing
database at once. It would be great to automatically create the
controllers and views, too - to have simple but functional CRUD
application.

How do I do that - at once?

Fritz

You could search for "magic models" by Dr. Nic.  I don''t know
if it
generates the models or just lets you have "empty" model classes and  
figures out the associations on-the-fly.
