It can't be done "out of the box", since, like you mentioned, the only tool that the Cake core comes with for managing schemas is the shell class. But the schema shell just uses the CakeSchema model to do most of the heavy lifting. So you could just make a SchemaController that uses the CakeSchema model and then use that to handle schema updating. A lot of the code in the schema shell can be transferred into a controller with minimal changes - the database updating code is pretty straightforward.
I've actually got something like this planned that I hope to get to in the next week or so; I'll gladly share my results once I'm done. - Jamie On Jan 24, 10:31 am, Lorenzo Bettini <bett...@dsi.unifi.it> wrote: > Hi > > I found > > http://book.cakephp.org/view/735/Generating-and-using-Schema-files > > which is cool to migrate database schemas with cake console; but I'd > like to migrate and apply schema (e.g., for installation and update > pages) from the application... can it be done? > > thanks in advance > Lorenzo > > -- > Lorenzo Bettini, PhD in Computer Science, DI, Univ.
