Shouldn't we share same models across apps?

If I have multiple separate applications each with their own directory
structures, but many need to access the same tables (i.e. a master
product code file, customers table, etc.). Should those models be
symbolic linked in to ech app’s app/models directory or some editing in
environment.rb or is there a best practices way to do this?

Thanks!

Sure, symlinks work. I’m using svn:externals to do something similar.
