how best to implement lookup table?
...ld I just implement a has_many relationship? Let''s say
these are Order status codes, would the StatusCode have many Orders?
This seems right from a database POV (normalizing the code and
description into a separate table), but sort of goofy from a coding
POV. "Order belongs_to :order_status_code" seems a little off to me.
It would be nice if I could somehow automatically have the status
description automatically be added as a read-only attribute to the Order
class.
Suppose the above approach is the correct one. Would I still use the
standard id column as my primary key, or just...
