Rails - Jun 2012 - retrieve model name from table name rails 3

Hi All,

 I want to derive the model name from table name. 

One method i got is using table_name.classify. But this does not give 
actual model name. The scenario is

Class User < ActiveRecord::Base

   self.table_name = "abc_xyz"  

end

Now i want to retrieve the model name from table name "abc_xyz" which 
should be User.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks
Vikram

Sorry for not answering the question, but I cannot contain my
curiosity to know why you need to do this.
