People, I didn''t get an answer to this before so I am trying again: I could change an existing "policy" table to "policies" with no drama but the are a number of related tables ie: p_2quot p_addr p_cc p_cs p_direct p_div p_exss p_ll p_mp p_note p_prop p_prov p_rent p_rnwl p_sdiv p_seq p_wrkrs p_xaddr Each policy may or may not have a corresponding record in one of these other tables - if it does it could be a one-to-many or a one-to-one relationship. Is there a way to create new nouns in RoR so that I could create the corresponding plurals like: p_2quots p_addrs p_ccs . . etc and the system would work as normal?

Hey Philip, pluralization works on english words instead of variables.
Thus, I would recommend do the following:
1) just simply rename the offending tables because it seems that some
wouldn''t
produce a valid pluralization to begin with. However, you maybe
able to create
a mapping with rails that should prevent you from changing the
actual table names.
If someone on the list knows a solution for this rails user, please
post to the mailist.
Peace,
-Conrad

Arun, Thanks for that! - the pluralizer seems to work on my non-english nouns! Regards, Phil.
