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).

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

It'd be nice to isolate that code so that it can be used in the shell
code and also in the controller code.
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
They require shells (or at least what I found). I recently had the

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
