Rails - Mar 2007 - Database structure question

Hi,

I have a database question. I have a table called ''posts''
which holds
all the blog posts. Now I want to store updates of a specific post in
the same table. Normal post would get the type ''normal'' and
updates
would get the type ''update''. Now for my question: You could
have
multiple updates to a single posts, so how do a correctly name the
reference table? And how do I put this in the model?

This is my Post model:
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base

  has_and_belongs_to_many :tags
  has_one :rating

end

Thanks,
MJ

I am not sure I understand the question correctly, would  
acts_as_versioned[*] help?
