Models on existing database?

Hey there,

Let’s say you have a simple application, that already have a users table
and
you want to re-use that on a different app.

How do you work with that?

As long as the database is (one of) the ones specified in database.yml,
all you need to do is create the model in your new app.

Hmm… ok.

What about if you want to use multiple databases in your app?

Google is a Rails developer’s best friend. The solution you’re looking
for depends a lot on how you want to manage your connections.
