Asp Forum - Rails: "generate model" with non-standard table name

Robert Eisig

Hi,

in rails I have to use an existing mysql table named "my_choice". It
does not follow the convention of tables being named plural.

To be able to use the "generate model" script I changed the following
in the file inflections.rb in the active_support lib (almost at the end
of the file):

inflect.uncountable(%w(equipment information [...] sheep my_choice))

I just added the table name at the end. After running the
"script/generate model my_choice" I removed it again.

(This resulted in correctly created files in test and db/migrate)

And then I added a line in the model that was just created:

class MyChoice < ActiveRecord::Base
set_table_name "my_choice"
end

Question: is this a good idea and the best possible way? Could I have
problems with this in the future working with it? How can I do this
easier when it happens again... ain't there a paramter for "generate
model" ? Something like "script/generate model --no-inflect my_choice"?

Thank you
Robert

You might have better results posting this to the Rails mailing list at

So you already know that Israel has committed vast crimes in Gaza?
You've never admitted that before, Toady. For example killing 1,400
people and destroying or damaging 10,000 homes and then refusing to
allow the Palestinians to re-build them. Will you admit these things
again when the subject next arises? You, Toady, are such a strange
humanoid. The objects of your affection don't even respect you.

Tell us, have you read Gilad Atzmon's review of the Coen brother's new
film, "A Serious Man?" It's about life in a Jewish Ghetto in
Minneapolis.

It is really funny watching this so called educated fool reduce
himself to preaching to and highfiving a bunch of
antii-semitic scrounges on usenet. It really is curious that this fool
cant comprehend how ridiculous he looks to
any normal person. I couldn't imagine taking him to a party full of
doctors that I work around and have him start
blathering his bullshit. I am seriously sitting here chuckling at the
thought of something like that. I could just imagine
them asking me off to the side, why I didn't bring him in on a leash.
The guy is a complete loser...and will be one right
up to the bitter end.

That pretty much sounds like a self description by the inbred Croat
imbecile, DooDooDumbKunt. Is all that Jewish asslicking Kosher for you?
They won't pay your gambling debts or protect you from the crack dealer
that wants to be paid, asshole. Have you explained to the folks here why
you avoid real women like the plague, yet? Whole lot of folks also want
to know when you are going to take a job and stop sponging off the system.
