Console - Generate

Generate a new migration

 cake migration generate 

Force migration generation

This is used in the case that you want to generate data for tables without an existing CakePHP model available

 cake migration generate -f 

The -f switch means "force"

Specifying connections

If you wish to use a data source other than that defined on the default connection, specify it with the -connection <name> option:

 cake migration generate -connection test 

This will inspect the connection named test in your app/config/database.php configuration file, and generate migrations based on the information obtained from the datasource.
