Hi, Patrick,
you should make sure that your database scheme uses the other conventions
that rails assumes. If it does not do a search on the wiki for legacy schema
and build your models upon that.
The main other convention that your legacy schema often won''t fit is
the
name of the foreign keys which should be in your case customer_id,
product_id and category_id. But you could of course use scaffolding to make
up some stumps and then define your associations as told in the wiki page
regarding legacy schemas. Just give scaffolding a try and see if it gives
you errors...
Best Regards
Jan Prill
