The earlier link was irrelevant, ignore it. The advice to google "rails
legacy database" from Ar Chron should help, though.

In any case, make a copy of your existing DB and point your Rails
app at it.

Create a model based on an existing table e.g. "things", as in

class Thing < ActiveRecord::Base
end

Then start a console and type

thing = Thing.first

Look at the result. That should get you started :-)

And no, sorry, I don't know of any specific tutorials on doing this. It
would probably be easier if you'd already developed at least a trivial
green-field Rails app (gone through the basic tutorials, guides, etc.)

FWIW, and good luck,
