Reusing exisitng db (migrate=False)

[KellerKev]

What is the best practice to reuse an exisitg db with tables in it?

I am used to define the fields in pydal and set migrate=False.

Is it similiar in Emmett?

Thank you!

Under default behaviour Emmett's ORM has automatic schema migrations disabled. You can safely connect to any existing database. See https://emmett.sh/docs/2.2.x/orm/migrations

Awesome! Sorry I did not read this yet. I had a read now. I love the approach. Just one last thing I could not find. How do I enable automatic migration if I wanted to? Thanks !

with auto_migrate=True parameter on the Database class. But I strongly discourage its usage 😉
