How to create ActiveRecord tableless Model in Rails 3

Question

I am trying to create a Active Record tableless Model. My user.rb looks like this

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

  class_inheritable_accessor :columns

         


        

Answer 1

Few things:

Firstly you are using the Rails2 approach outlined in Railscast 193 when really you should be using the Rails 3 approach, outlined in Railscast 219

You probably don't want to inherit from ActiveRecord::Base when doing this sort of thing.
