Hi everyone,

So here is my problem :

I’m using the Oracle JDBC Driver (with JRuby) to talk to a legacy  
database. I also use set\_table\_name directive since my model doesn’t  
have the same name as my table.

class Person \< ActiveRecord::Base  
set\_table\_name ‘BOTS.USERS’

In the console, if I try Person.find(1) I get an error saying that the  
table doesn’t exit. The query generated is : SELECT \* FROM  
“BOTS.USERS” WHERE (“BOTS.USERS”.id = 1)

The thing is that this is not valid, it should be :

SELECT \* FROM BOTS.USERS WHERE (BOTS.USERS.id = 1)

How could I fix this ?
