All of the Rails tutorials I’ve looked at seem to revolve around
creating a
new database and then making the contents of the database accessible
through the web page. The URL http://localhost:3000/users gives you
access
to the user list after you enter the following commands:
rails generate scaffold User name:string email:string
rake db:create:all
rake db:migrate
But what if you already created the user database with data in it? What
is
the alternative procedure for providing access to the user database at
http://localhost:3000/users ?
that comment will generate controller, model and migration(used to
create
table), you can generate them separately

Just delete the migration file generated, and don’t run the rake
commands. Alternatively just use generate model and generate
controller and write the rest yourself (or just write it all
yourself). If you use generate model then again delete the migration
generated.
That all assumes the existing table is rails compatible of course.

see this command will not generate the database this will generate the
table name user , if you want to change the database go to the
database.yml
to change the database name.
