Way to create models for all tables in a MySQL database using Sequel, and Sequel's Sequel::Model() command.

TableModelGeneratorSequel.rb

require 'sequel'

DB = Sequel.connect('mysql://root@localhost/macpractice')

tables_array = DB["show tables"].all.map {|x| x[:"Tables_in_macpractice"]}

tables_array.each {|table_name| instance_variable_set("@#{table_name}", Sequel::Model(table_name.to_sym))}

Classes are created for each table with the name "@table_name_goes_here".
