something similar to sqlautocode for rails (auto-generate models from existing db schema)?

I'm looking for a way to inspect a database schema and auto-generate models in Rails. Does anyone know of a project/gem that does this?

Active Record is good for this. If you want to use it outside rails, then

class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
  # In case the table name not following rails convention
  self.table_name = 'bar'
end

db_config = {
  adapter: 'mysql2',
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 3306,
  database: 'foobar'
}

ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(db_config)

That's all.
