Database tables

Rails
1

I have been assigned a task of building a front end to a database that
has already been created. All the database tables have the naming
convention of lclclcClclclc. For example; tblComputerNames. How do i
get around this in rails since it likes lower case table names to keep
with its naming conventions for classes and objects?

Mitch,

Have a look at ActiveRecord::Base set_table_name over here:

You might also want to look at set_primary_key also in
ActiveRecord::Base

You can specify the individual table names in each model with
set_table_name… I can’t think of anything easier off the top of my
head, other than a custom generator for the model files.
