Its a piece of cake developing applications that run on multitude of Database management solutions. All you need to keep Database schema scripts handy. Here is how you do it using rails scripts:
ruby script\generate migration Contact
This will create an empty file in db/migrate folder for contact table. You need to fill it now with the fields you want for eg:
class Contact < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :contacts do |table| table.column :first_name, :string table.column :last_name, :string table.column :email, :string table.column :phone, :string table.column :address, :string end end def self.down end end
ruby script\generate scaffold Contact
Ok.. just found what I was looking for. Pretty detailed document for this: http://rubyonrails.org/api/classes/ActiveRecord/Migration.html
Now, apply the migration
rake migrate
Now, generate model and controller for Contact
ruby script\generate scaffold Contact
