You might be interested in seeing what is possible through reverse scaffolding. [1] I've used something like this before to get jump started. If you only need models defined you can adjust it to only use the generators you need. The next problem will likely be if the database does not follow Rails naming conventions, because you'll have to explicitly state table and column names (e.g. primary and foreign keys) in your ActiveRecord models. When I tried to do that once I found it to be quite a lot of work. I was working with a database under my control which followed no convention very well, so I decided to migrate the whole database to use Rails naming conventions instead. Jason [1] May not work with Rails 3 but should give some idea of the approach. https://github.com/ahe/reverse_scaffold On Tue, Jan 4, 2011 at 1:42 PM, Brice Stacey <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Any ruby guys out there bother to map Voyager's database schema with > ActiveRecord? > > > > If not, I'd be interested in collaborating on such a project. > > > > Brice Stacey > > Digital Library Services > > University of Massachusetts Boston > > [log in to unmask] > > 617-287-5921 > > >
