manual/docs/Getting started - Working with existing databases - Making the first import.php

+Let's consider we have a mysql database called test with a single table called 'file'.
+
+The file table has been created with the following sql statement:
+
+CREATE TABLE file (
+    id INT AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL,
+    name VARCHAR(150),
+    size BIGINT,
+    modified BIGINT,
+    type VARCHAR(10),
+    content TEXT,
+    path TEXT,
+    PRIMARY KEY(id))
+    
+Now we would like to convert it into Doctrine record class. It can be achieved easily with the following code snippet:
+
+<code type='php'>
+require_once('lib/Doctrine.php');
+
+spl_autoload_register(array('Doctrine', 'autoload'));
+
+$conn = Doctrine_Manager::connection(new Doctrine_Db('mysql://root:dc34@localhost/test'));
+
+// import method takes one parameter: the import directory (the directory where
+// the generated record files will be put in
+$conn->import->import('myrecords');
+</code>
+
+That's it! Now there should be a file called File.php in your myrecords directory. The file should look like:
+
+<code type='php'>
+/**
+ * This class has been auto-generated by the Doctrine ORM Framework
+ * Created: Saturday 10th of February 2007 01:03:15 PM
+ */
+class File extends Doctrine_Record
+{
+    public function setTableDefinition()
+    {
+        $this->hasColumn('id', 'integer', 4, array('notnull' => true,
+                                                   'primary' => true,
+                                                   'autoincrement' => true));
+        $this->hasColumn('name', 'string', 150);
+        $this->hasColumn('size', 'integer', 8);
+        $this->hasColumn('modified', 'integer', 8);
+        $this->hasColumn('type', 'string', 10);
+        $this->hasColumn('content', 'string', null);
+        $this->hasColumn('path', 'string', null);
+    }
+    public function setUp()
+    {
+
+    }
+}
