For example, I have one products table and one product_photos table (defined in separate migration files). The second table has a foreign key associated with the

I am working with mapping ActiveRecord onto a legacy database. All is going well (using set_table_name, set_primary_key, etc), but I can''t get my many<=>many relationships to work.

Hi.. Guys new plugin again Foreign Key Associations is a plugin that automatically creates associations based on foreign-keys. The associations are created at runtime-ie. as your ActiveRecord models are loaded-so they will always be up-to-date. For example, given a foreign-key from a customer_id column in an orders table to an id column in a customers table, the plugin creates:
