Generating migrations

Sinatra has a different syntax than rails to generate migration:

rake db:create_migration NAME=create_categories

Handling shared models

Some of models will necesarrily be shared between front and back office. Migrations for those models must be in front office and back office will just have a model file with custom code if needed.

When generating active scaffold - migration is generated by default so it needs to be removed before using it.
