Hi Radha, As per the details given by you, you want to run the application with out using the database migrations and Rake command, provided by the ROR.
You have your own data base structure in that you have the tables in that data base, in database.yml you are going to give those details, and from that you need to do the CURD operations . Is this the thing that you are looking for ? Let me know If I am wrong on this, based on your answer I will suggest you the appropriate way to deal with in your application.
