Question

I have an application written in PHP/MySQL (symfony, to be specific) that I’d (potentially) like to rewrite in Rails. I know how to create scaffolding for tables that don’t exist yet, but how do I get Rails to read my existing table structure and create scaffolding based on that?

Update: it turns out I can run the following command to get Rails to generate models for me:

rails generate scaffold Bank --no-migration

But it doesn’t give me forms. I would prefer something that gives me forms.

The answer is db:schema:dump.
