Instructions for accomplishing this in Yii:

1. Add your database connection settings to protected/config/console.php.

2. Run yiic migrate create initial to create the stub code for the migration.

3. Copy contents of this gist to protected/commands/InitialDbMigrationCommand.php.

4. Run yiic initialdbmigration 'name_of_your_database' > initial_migration.php to generate up() and down() methods for initial database migration.

5. Copy and paste up() and down() methods from initial_migration.php to the file created in the protected/migrations folder in step 2.
