title: Putting Rails over top of an existing database
body: <p>I have an application written in PHP/MySQL (symfony, to be specific) that I'd (potentially) like to rewrite in Rails. I know how to create scaffolding for tables that don't exist yet, but how do I get Rails to read my existing table structure and create scaffolding based on that?</p>
  
  <p>Update: it turns out I can run the following command to get Rails to generate models for me:</p>
  
  <pre><code>rails generate scaffold Bank --no-migration
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it doesn't give me forms. I would prefer something that gives me forms.</p>
