Rails - Jul 2006 - How to override ActiveRecord#base#destroy

Hello,
I have a database table with a primary key not being a simple id but 
three columns. By overriding update() and create() I got Rails to work 
with that table quit good. Except for the destroy() action. From the 
resulting trace I can see that the old version of destroy() is called 
from transaction.rb. I think this lines might be the reason that I''m 
unable to override detroy():

from transaction.rb

     def self.append_features(base)
       super
       base.extend(ClassMethods)

       base.class_eval do
         alias_method :destroy_without_transactions, :destroy
         alias_method :destroy, :destroy_with_transactions
...

Any ideas, hints, etc.?

best regards,
Torsten

Add on: My fault, I simply picked the wrong model class. Now with 
overloading update(), create() and destroy() in the right model class 
with natural primary keys every thing works as expected.
