Dear group,

I have th problem while accessing the allready created tables in  
oracle. sence the rails convension is to call the plural named tables  
as the model name but, my tables are allready crated with no plural  
name. so, what can i do to make the connection. i dont want to make  
the dumy tables nemed them plural.
