One of the things that has escaped me, is how to connect diesel to a database that already exists. It is great that it can take care of creating a database and keeping it up to date, and keeps a record of all changes so you can recreate it as needed. But how does one use diesel to access a database that already got created and is in active production? A database with a structure that diesel is not allowed to alter? With pre-existing stored procedures that perform data updates?
Yes!

That would be lovely!
