Rails - Mar 2005 - change the model''s table name

I need to change the name of the table a model is connected to... like
the example in the API... the table is called mice and I want a class
called Mouse.

  class Mouse < ActiveRecord::Base
     table_name "mice"
  end

I''m doing this cause I want tables in my language (italian) and avoid
the nameS thing.
just adding it in that way doesn''t work

 ArgumentError in Tipo_trasporti#index

wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)

/app/models/tipo_trasporti.rb:2:in `table_name''
/app/models/tipo_trasporti.rb:2
script/server:51

someone has suggested to use def:
class TipoTrasporti < ActiveRecord::Base
        
def table_name
                "tipo_trasporto"
        end

end

in the controller I''ve got this:
class TipoTrasportiController < ApplicationController
        model :tipo_trasporti

        def index
                myvar = TipoTrasporti.find_all
                render_text "ok"
        end
end

that gives this error:

 ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in Tipo_trasporti#index

ERROR: relation "tipo_trasportis" does not exist : SELECT * FROM
tipo_trasportis

script/server:51


someone can help me?
Thanks
Enrico

You''re supposed to use

class Mouse < ActiveRecord::Base
	def self.table_name() "mice" end
end

Then the documentation in ActiveRecord::Base table_name() needs to be
updated, as this is where the example given below comes from.

You can also use

set_table_name :mice

or

table_name= :mice

thanks, now it works
:-)
