Automatically Creating Database Tables

[quote author="Jonah11" date="1292974401"]Thanks for the info. So what is the preferred method of creating tables for a MySQL database with code igniter? Do you just use phpMyAdmin?[/quote]
I used to use dbforge, but due to the fact that it has to support a lot of database engine's, you can only use it for generic table definitions.

So now I don't bother anymore, and include .sql files with my projects for the different database I'd like to support, and a generic one which will probably work on most databases. Then I just load it using file I/O calls, and feed the commands to $this->db->query().
I do upgrades the same way (with .sql files containing 'diffs').

And I use Datamapper ORM to access my databases.
