Where in the online docs or rails api do I find a discussion of the  
table\_name\_prefix and primary\_key\_prefix\_type methods? I have tried  
Rails::Configuration and that passed me to ActiveRecord::Base. In  
ActiveRecord::Base I find mention of the class method table\_name\_prefix  
in table\_name but no specific documentation.

Thanks

My problems seems to be that these are not methods but rather class  
variables. Sigh.
