@the_woodsman, yes, the form helper does have knowledge of the schema of the database. If you have SQL debugging on, you will notice that pages with form-helpers on them will perform a "DESCRIBE table_name", so that it is able to match the $form->input() with the correct type of input for the appropriate database field. Not sure how this will help you in getting the database schema available in the views though.
