Finally I started a little RoR project with my friend Antonello but we did it in the wrong way 
We started from the database design (not exactly the rails way) and we are trying to solve problems that a Rails developer usually doesn’t have like create the scaffold without migration scripts!
Here are 3 simple steps to do it:
- rake db:schema:dump (create the schema dump from the existing database)
- mv db/schema.rb db/migrate/001_initial.rb (create the initial migration script manually)
- script/generate scaffold firstmodule field1:text field2:varchar field3:date –skip-migration
The most important thing you should never forget is that your tables on the database must have a PLURAL name but use the SINGULAR name when you create the scaffold for that table.
( ex: the table name is “tools” but the command to create the scaffold is script/generate scaffold tool )
Happy RoRing !!!
