scaffold upper case table and underscores

[joe]

Hello I am learning how to use ruby on rails. I was able to generate
model and controller for lower case tables just doing

../script/generate model Post
../script/generate controller Post

and then adding

scaffold ost

to the .rb controller file. I was unable to just change scaffold ost
to scaffold: MY_CONTACTS. My table is upper case with underscores does
this make a difference. I am also using the sybase adapter. Thanks.

You should look into the set_table_name[1] command if you have to deal
with legacy tables. If you don't have to deal with legacy tables, you
should follow the Rails conventions for table names and you'll be a
lot happier.

And then you should wander over to the Rails [2] mailing list, because
this is the *Ruby*, not Rails, community.
