Rails - Dec 2008 - [N00b] Can I generate a model file from [sql] table?

Ah, it''s been a while since I''ve done any rails -- I almost
forgot how
deceptively easy it is...

...to get yourself totally lost ;)

Anyway, I probably did this all backwards, but I created my table by
writing a migration file, then rake db:migrate.  So far, so good.  I
even whipped up a quick script to grind through some tab-separated text
and fill the table -- yay.

...But I seem to have forgotten the format for a model file, and I was
thinking it sure would be handy if I could just point some generator or
similar helper-script at the sql table and say "make me a model file
that looks like that."

About what do I want to read more?  (Already trying to find all my old
tutorials that include how to write a model file -- I mean in terms of
"does it for you" scripts :D)

Thanks!

Hi Olie,

Perhaps the easiest thing to do to stimulate your memory might be to
scaffold yourself a sandbox app.  For the quick fix, just create a file
named ''singular_version_of_your_table_name.rb'' with the
following, minimim,
content.

class SingularVersionOfYourTableName < ActiveRecord::Base
end

HTH,
Bill
