How do I automatically create model classes from an existing db schema? this is in RoR 2.0
You don’t create models from an existing schema… you create models that map to existing tables 
But I’ll stop splitting hairs.
ruby script/generate model users --skip-migration
Or just create a new class for the table manually
in app/models/user.rb
class User < ActiveRecord::Base end
As long as your table name is pluralized and you have a primary key column called ‘id’ it will just work. If you don’t, you can specify the table name and primary key name
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
set_primary_key :person_id set_table_name :person end
