Create database table using controller.

Hi All,

I am new to cakePHP and I've tried googling for this topic but to no
avail. I need to create a database table from controller. May i know
is it possible to insert into the newly created table, i.e. in this
example, the customer table using model?

$this->Q->query("CREATE TABLE customer
(First_Name char(50),
Last_Name char(50),
Address char(50) default 'Unknown',
City char(50) default 'Mumbai',
Country char(25),
Birth_Date date)");
}
$this->loadModel('Customer');
$this->Customers->saveAll(data);

I've tried it but this does not work. May I know if there are any
alternatives besides creating another insert statement using

$this->Q->query("INSERT INTO customer...");
