ignored_columns

The list of columns names the model should ignore. Ignored columns won't have attribute accessors defined, and won't be referenced in SQL queries.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/model_schema.rb, line 123
    
ignored_columns=(columns)

Sets the columns names the model should ignore. Ignored columns won't have attribute accessors defined, and won't be referenced in SQL queries.

internal_metadata_table_name

The name of the internal metadata table. By default, the value is "ar_internal_metadata".

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/model_schema.rb, line 81
    
internal_metadata_table_name=(table_name)

Sets the name of the internal metadata table.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/model_schema.rb, line 87
    
pluralize_table_names

Indicates whether table names should be the pluralized versions of the corresponding class names. If true, the default table name for a Product class will be “products”. If false, it would just be “product”. See table_name for the full rules on table/class naming. This is true, by default.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/model_schema.rb, line 108
    
pluralize_table_names=(value)

Set whether table names should be the pluralized versions of the corresponding class names. If true, the default table name for a Product class will be “products”. If false, it would just be “product”. See table_name for the full rules on table/class naming. This is true, by default.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/model_schema.rb, line 116
    
primary_key_prefix_type

The prefix type that will be prepended to every primary key column name. The options are :table_name and :table_name_with_underscore. If the first is specified, the Product class will look for “productid” instead of “id” as the primary column. If the latter is specified, the Product class will look for “product_id” instead of “id”. Remember that this is a global setting for all Active Records.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/model_schema.rb, line 17
    
primary_key_prefix_type=(prefix_type)

Sets the prefix type that will be prepended to every primary key column name. The options are :table_name and :table_name_with_underscore. If the first is specified, the Product class will look for “productid” instead of “id” as the primary column. If the latter is specified, the Product class will look for “product_id” instead of “id”. Remember that this is a global setting for all Active Records.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/model_schema.rb, line 27
    
protected_environments

The array of names of environments where destructive actions should be prohibited. By default, the value is ["production"].

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/model_schema.rb, line 94
    
protected_environments=(environments)

Sets an array of names of environments where destructive actions should be prohibited.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/model_schema.rb, line 100
    
schema_migrations_table_name

The name of the schema migrations table. By default, the value is "schema_migrations".

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/model_schema.rb, line 69
    
schema_migrations_table_name=(table_name)

Sets the name of the schema migrations table.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/model_schema.rb, line 75
    
table_name_prefix

The prefix string to prepend to every table name.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/model_schema.rb, line 33
    
table_name_prefix=(prefix)

Sets the prefix string to prepend to every table name. So if set to “basecamp_”, all table names will be named like “basecamp_projects”, “basecamp_people”, etc. This is a convenient way of creating a namespace for tables in a shared database. By default, the prefix is the empty string.

If you are organising your models within modules you can add a prefix to the models within a namespace by defining a singleton method in the parent module called ::table_name_prefix which returns your chosen prefix.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/model_schema.rb, line 46
    
table_name_suffix

The suffix string to append to every table name.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/model_schema.rb, line 52
    
table_name_suffix=(suffix)

Works like table_name_prefix=, but appends instead of prepends (set to “_basecamp” gives “projects_basecamp”, “people_basecamp”). By default, the suffix is the empty string.

If you are organising your models within modules, you can add a suffix to the models within a namespace by defining a singleton method in the parent module called ::table_name_suffix which returns your chosen suffix.
