search for: persontype

so i have a people table, and a person has a persontype. the person types are customer, and employee. I would like to make them into two models, where i can call Employee.new(:name => ''chris'') and it would make a person with the name chris and the persontype of employee, and be able to do the same thing for Customer. is this...

So, RoR is better at grammer than I. Well so is my nine year old. If I have a table named "people_type" will Rails see this as singular because of the _type or will it consider it the plural of "person_type" ? Is there a link to Rails that lists what words it knows, or what words not to use in table design etc. Kindest regards. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
