I was browsing the local bookstore, and came across " Rails for Java  
Developers" [http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/fr\_r4j/](http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/fr_r4j/).

I’ll have to take another look, but in the intro they did a “migration”  
and basically created an interactive database, one flat table, in just  
like two pages of not particularly dense instructions. It was  
approximately five command.

Guess I’ll have to refer to the book. I just haven’t seen anything like  
that elsewhere, and liked the way it gives something to bite into.
