Problem with set_table_name

Rails
1

Dear all,

I am in process of interfacing web with a chat tool.

Iam using rails 2.0.2 and mysql.

i have created a database chat_development, with table names userinfos,
clientinfos.

I dont want the defaults, i need to set the table name like, user_info
and client_info. i have used set_table_name method like,

class Userinfo < ActiveRecord::Base
set_table_name “user_info”
end

I have even set the environment.rb file like,

ActiveRecord::Base.pluralize_table_names = false

when i gave rake db:migrate , all files are migrated well but the table
names are not changed in my DB. what i need to do to change the table
names of my own. Please suggest

Thanks in advance

Regards,

Jose Martin

Those settings just control what table Rails will try to use for a
given class - they’ll never change the schema.

If you want to change the schema, write a migration.
