      Ok I will. Thanks.

      Is all this...
      $prefix = 'xyz_';
$tablename = 'chronicles';
$packagename = 'chronicleThis';

$packagepath = $modx->getOption($packagename . '.core_path', NULL, $modx->getOption('core_path') . 'components/' . $packagename . '/');
$modelpath = $packagepath . 'model/';

$schemapath = $modelpath . 'schema/';
$schemafile = $schemapath . $packagename . '.mysql.schema.xml';
$manager = $modx->getManager();
$generator = $manager->getGenerator();
$generator->parseSchema($schemafile, $modelpath);
$modx->addPackage($packagename, $modelpath, $prefix);
$classname = $generator->getClassName($tablename);

      required just to access the class to make a DB update or insert?

        the package needs to be registered somewhere, before you can use its classes and you will need to know the classname.

        then this is enough:

        $prefix = 'xyz_';
$classname = 'Chronicle';
$packagename = 'chroniclethis';//should be lowercase
 
$packagepath = $modx->getOption($packagename . '.core_path', NULL, $modx->getOption('core_path') . 'components/' . $packagename . '/');
$modelpath = $packagepath . 'model/';
$modx->addPackage($packagename, $modelpath, $prefix);


        you can also register your package with the system-setting 'extension-packages', if you need to have it registered on every request.

          -------------------------------

          you can buy me a beer, if you like MIGX

          Thank you, Bruno17!

          I kept breaking it by removing lines trying to figure out what I could skin it down to.

          I like to use as little lines of code as possible. Awesome!
