Joel, from looking at the blog post mentioned here (http://cakebaker. 42dh.com/2008/04/13/migrations-the-cakephp-way/), you can make changes to existing tables "./cake schema run update ..." . If I get the jist right, the only thing lacking for these Schema things to support RoR style migrations is: - rollback (which seems partly implemented in the test suite, i.e tables get dropped) - logic to determine if updates or creates need to be performed (can't be too difficult, as it appears tables are already diffed by the update logic) Surely these are so close it'd be better to extend these to meet the needs of Migrations, rather than have something completely seperate?
