Setting up model for existing database

Rails
1

I have an existing database (Microsoft SQL). I know how to specify the
connection to the database, but how can I generate or write a model that
correpsonds to a table or tables that already exist in the database?
Just by specifying things in a new model that match up to the database?
Has anyone got a pertinent example?
thanks!

Very soon I’ll release a gem called Dr Nic’s Magic Models that will do
that. The codes written and I just need time to wrap it up as a gem.

It will be release at http://magicmodels.rubyforge.org, so check that
site out in a few days.

Cheers
Nic
