Can I create an initial CodeIgniter db migration from .sql?
Bit late reply, but I hacked a quick library that should generate the base migration file for you from your current DB. Its still beta, but works on my systems 40 tables+

I was messing around with SQL files manually and then I discovered Jamie Rumbelow's schema library. It makes schema operation a little bit easier to manage then DBForge but still requires manual entry.

Someone came up with a mashup of his base model and schema library and it makes prototyping much faster
https://github.com/williamknauss/schema_base_model_magic
this allows you to automate the CRUD model operations & schema
Visit https://github.com/fastworkx/ci_migrations_generator
You'll get something like this applications/migration/001_create_base.php.
public function up() { ## Create Table sis_customer $this->dbforge->add_field(array( 'id' => array( 'type' => 'VARCHAR', 'constraint' => 40, 'null' => FALSE, ), 'ip_address' => array( 'type' => 'VARCHAR', 'constraint' => 45, 'null' => FALSE, ), 'timestamp' => array( 'type' => 'INT', 'unsigned' => TRUE, 'null' => FALSE, 'default' => '0', ), 'data' => array( 'type' => 'BLOB', 'null' => FALSE, ), '`datetime_reg` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ', )); $this->dbforge->create_table("sessions", TRUE); $this->db->query('ALTER TABLE `sessions` ENGINE = InnoDB'); ));public function down() { ### Drop table sessions ## $this->dbforge->drop_table("sessions", TRUE);}
