I am working on a non Rails web app, so no migrations script by default.

The Sequel ORM lets me create tables easily in a script:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'rubygems'
require 'sequel'

## Connect to the database
DB = Sequel.sqlite('./ex1.db')

unless DB.table_exists? :posts
  DB.create_table :posts do
    primary_key :id
    varchar :title
    text :body
  end
end

Is there a way todo this with ActiveRecord outside of migrations?
