I wanted to add an example. Freelancers as one table Companies as another table
They would have a many to many relationship because a company could have many freelancers working for them, and a freelancer could work for many customers. The tricky part is companies/freelancers could have a different pay rate, and pay type(percentage of profits, hourly, per contract pay, etc) for each relationship, so I wanted to add this data in the join table, and wasn't sure if it was okay to leave the table named companies_freelancers . I have other HABTM relationships that would stay normal many to many joins. Just wanted to bump this and put in more information.
