Specify a table prefix for MySQL

Question

In CakePHP, I can specify a prefix in my database configuration, i.e. "so_", so that every model looks for its table under this prefix.

Is something similar possible in Rails, too? That is, can several programs share one database?

Answer 1

You might try the following in environments.rb: In the config section add the following code

config.active_record.table_name_prefix = "so_"
