Here is the file to generate the tables:
$ cat /var/www/cakephp/app/config/createdb.sql 
  /* First, create our posts table: */
 CREATE TABLE posts (
 id INT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
 title VARCHAR(50),
 body TEXT,
 created DATETIME DEFAULT NULL,
 modified DATETIME DEFAULT NULL
 );
 /* Then insert some posts for testing: */
 INSERT INTO posts (title,body,created)
 VALUES ('The title', 'This is the post body.', NOW());
 INSERT INTO posts (title,body,created)
 VALUES ('A title once again', 'And the post body follows.', NOW());
 INSERT INTO posts (title,body,created)
 VALUES ('Title strikes back', 'This is really exciting! Not.', NOW());

All files are under the /www/var/cakephp/app directory.
This is in the ../posts/views directory.
