RoR Active Record question

Ruby
1

Hiya RoR gurus,

I work at a .NET shop, but I enjoy learning Ruby. So, I wanna
prototype some of our company’s screens using Rails (and hopefullly
AJAX). One thing I’m not sure about, since I’m a noob, is whether
ActiveRecord will get along with our database…

So I have two questions:

  • Can I have ActiveRecord get along with our PascalCase naming
    conventions?

  • We ALWAYS have two fields as our primary key: Id and EffectiveYear,
    which is an integer containing a year and a version, ie 200600000,
    200600001, … This is a strict requirement, so can I get
    ActiveRecord to do this (easily)?

Thanks in advance,
