Answer 1

After you setup your DataSources. If you running the bake command from your root directory where you can see bin folder.
This will give you list of tables
sudo bin/cake bake.bake model --connection OTHER_DATABASE_NAME
Let's say we want to bake for Users table
Bake a model
sudo bin/cake bake.bake model TABLE_NAME --connection OTHER_DATABASE_NAME
In cakephp 3.x
If you want to do it manually you can create your Entity class and Table class as normal. and then in UsersTable.php add this function:
public static function defaultConnectionName()
{
return 'OTHER_DATABASE_NAME';
}

Answer 2

When you use Cake Bake ( and i think other console commands ) cake will look at the default value in your DATABASE_CONFIG unless you use the "-c" option. It lets you choose a different data connection. You probably default set to your database and a different one for the array datasource.

try edit yout file app.php:
'Datasources' => [
'default' => [
'className' => 'Cake\Database\Connection',
'driver' => 'Cake\Database\Driver\Mysql',
'persistent' => false,
'host' => 'aws.amazon-br.service',
//'port' => 'non_standard_port_number',
'username' => 'username',
'password' => 'passaword',
'database' => 'wp_my_site',
'encoding' => 'utf8',
'timezone' => 'UTC',
'cacheMetadata' => true,
'quoteIdentifiers' => false,
'log' => false,
//'init' => ['SET GLOBAL innodb_stats_on_metadata = 0'],
'url' => env('DATABASE_TEST_URL', null),
],
/**
* The test connection is used during the test suite.
*/
'my_system_db' => [
'className' => 'Cake\Database\Connection',
'driver' => 'Cake\Database\Driver\Mysql',
'persistent' => false,
'host' => 'hostgator.dbsource.manager',
//'port' => 'non_standard_port_number',
'username' => 'my_systen',
'password' => 'secret_password',
'database' => 'my_system',
'encoding' => 'utf8',
'timezone' => 'UTC',
'cacheMetadata' => true,
'quoteIdentifiers' => false,
'log' => false,
//'init' => ['SET GLOBAL innodb_stats_on_metadata = 0'],
'url' => env('DATABASE_TEST_URL', null),
],
],
After saving the app.php file, go to yout pronpt and use the bake command this format:
cake bake all name_table -c name_your_connect
Example:
cake bake all users -c my_system_db
