Naming conventions for models on older database?

Rails
1

Hi,

I am using RoR for my web development. But Database is already created
(Older database) with its own table name without RoR Specificcations.
Table names are:-
blacklist_patterns
category
comment
moderation
store
vote

What will be names for models corresponding to my above tables? If I
want to specify my own names to models? Can I do it? If yes then How?

Please tell me.
Thanx in advance.

You can name your models however you wish, and use the
“set_table_name” method to specify this.
class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
set_table_name ‘comment’
end

One further piece of trickery: currently, your unit test fixtures need
to be named after the actual table, rather than after the model.
So, put your comment fixtures in comment.yml, and refer to them with
‘fixtures :comment’
