Many-to-one relationship

Rails
1

Hello,

I want to add a Partner property to more than one type of models (ie.
SalesOrder and PurchaseOrder).
Is this the proper way of defining associatons or there’s a simpler
way?

class Partner < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :sales_orders
has_many :purchase_orders
end

class SalesOrder < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :partner
end

class PurchaseOrder < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :partner
end

Thanks

Zoltan

What you need here is a polymorphic association. See:
