Re: using CakeSchema from the app
That's nice to hear :) I had already started taking a look at the shell code and it looked to me as well that most of the code could be shared to be used also inside a controller. It'd be nice to isolate that code so that it can be used in the shell code and also in the controller code. From what I saw it basically boils down to copy that code and to avoid outputting to the standard output, am I right? I'd really love to see your code when it's done; probably also trying to come up with something re-usable for installation and updating functionalities (a plugin?) for cake! cheers Lorenzo Jamie wrote: 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 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.

Re: using CakeSchema from the app
but are you re-using sql dumps? Because I'd aim at using either sql dumps and possibly sql table update statements (which I've done in the past) or cake generated schema files (which should be the cake way). cheers Lorenzo Miles J wrote: They require shells (or at least what I found). I recently had the same dilemma with my forum plugin as I wanted to build an install script and use the Schema classes. I just had to use plain SQL files. http://github.com/milesj/forum/blob/master/controllers/install_controller.php If someone has more information on this subject, that would be great.
