The scaffold does not look at an existing table. You can tell it what the columns you want are, and it will create a migration to create the table for you, and will include the columns in the view. The Getting Started rails guide at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/ explains how it works. I recommend all that all learners work through that guide and the others there.
