How do I automatically create model classes from an existing db
schema? this is in RoR 2.0
You don’t create models from an existing schema… you create models
that
map to existing tables 
But I’ll stop splitting hairs.
ruby script/generate model users --skip-migration
Or just create a new class for the table manually
in app/models/user.rb
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
end
As long as your table name is pluralized and you have a primary key
column
called ‘id’ it will just work. If you don’t, you can specify the table
name
and primary key name
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
set_primary_key :person_id
set_table_name :person
end
