Not quite. You do not need to change your model at all -- it will figure out that the extra DB fields are there. script/generate model and controller will not help. script/generate scaffold might, but you're better off modifying your views manually.

Smart version control and smart testing are essential to smart development: they give you the freedom to make bold changes with confidence, and to roll back changes that don't work. Without both in place, you're just hacking.
