I will implement this myself, looking for feedback on if it'd be accepted and how the community feels about the long term of this being enabled by default.
I often run into conflicts between table names when running multiple fairly heavyweight engines that all deal with e-commerce (and in turn many have tables such as most recently payments that conflict). The current solution is to manually specify the table prefix in the appropriate gem / module. I am suggesting that we add a inherits_prefix_from_namespace flag to models, then eventually in the long term (perhaps rails 5) defaulting this to be enabled. Ideally this would work as follows: module Example module Widgets class Test < ActiveRecord::Base inherits_table_prefix_from_namespace: true end end end Rather than having its table name be *tests* , the table name would be *example_widgets_tests*. In the case that a prefix is specified, the table name would be *prefix_example_widgets_tests* (rather than *prefix_tests*). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
