Sort of. It's not fool-proof, though, especially if you use big magical 
find_by_sql queries.

Also, for an app like this, you will need a script to create the database, 
and that is platform-specific. Although Og provides this capability, and 
there's also a separate Schema Generator (designed for Rails use) on 
RubyForge.
