The library +provides a base class that, when subclassed, sets up a mapping between the new +class and an existing table in the database. In the context of an application, +these classes are commonly referred to as models. Models can also be connected +to other models; this is done by defining associations. + +Active Record relies heavily on naming in that it uses class and association +names to establish mappings between respective database tables and foreign key +columns. Although these mappings can be defined explicitly, it's recommended to +follow naming conventions, especially when getting started with the library. |
