Rails - Jul 2006 - Scaffold and Undercores in Tablenames

I am attempting to generate scaffolds on legacy tables that have
underscores in the name. Scaffold does not see the underscore. I have
tried a backslash escape but it no work. I have looked around but i
cannot find a way to make it work. It''s like this:

c:\railroad>ruby script/generate scaffold FOO_BAR
      exists  app/controllers/
      exists  app/helpers/
      create  app/views/foobar
      exists  test/functional/
  dependency  model
      exists    app/models/
      exists    test/unit/
      exists    test/fixtures/
      create    app/models/foobar.rb
   identical    test/unit/foobar_test.rb
   identical    test/fixtures/foobar.yml
ORA-04043: object foobar does not exist

You see?? Can you help??

Thank you-

damon

Try:
ruby script/generate scaffold FooBar

And then in your foo_bar.rb model file:

class FooBar < AR::Base
  set_table_name ''FOO_BAR''
end


There are other class methods on ActiveRecord::Base you might need to 
call for your legacy table.

Thanx Doc

The set table name did not work. I was able to generate a scaffold for a 
table that did not have the underscore char on the same DB. I tried to 
duplicate the app/** files created by that scaffold using the name of 
the table with the underscore and appropriate column names in the form 
view. No love. I think i am going to have to live without the 
convinience of scaffold and set it all up manually through active 
record. I was hoping there was a regex or some escape at the command 
line that would allow me to input that underscore  on the call to the 
generate method with scaffold. Nice forum, love the response time!!
