I know I can copy the database.
But the structures are so different that I can’t just copy and paste.
Also, I need to apply complex rules.
That’s why I need to use ActiveRecord.I hope that I explained my intention well.

If you assign the id ‘manually’, it will be honored, if possible.
mycopy = Model.new(hash_of_old_attributes) { |m| m.id = oldid }
… apply complex rules …
mycopy.save
Note that you can’t have :id in the hash_of_old_attributes (well, it
will be ignored if present).
