You should be able to run 'rails generate scaffold People last_name:string first_name:string...' on rails 3. Though if you are working with legacy data you will just need to code by hand. I would say if you are really new, what I would do is create a test scaffold, that way you will get the generated files and you can copy the structures in building out your own views and controllers. > > Am I correct in assuming that to bolt a Rails 3 GUI onto an existing > database you have to manually define the fields for each table in the > "generate" command?
