How to name a model something like FileURL

I want to create a rails' model like FileURL without having to name the file file_u_r_l.rb. How does one go about doing something like this? I understand that you can set table name explicitly but how does one override the default filename to classname mapping?

Thanks Prateek

You don't need to do anything. Rails' .underscore method translates 'FileURL' to 'file_url', and will look for a file with the same base name in the load path.

If ActiveRecord does not guess the correct table name, use set_table_name:

class FileURL < ActiveRecord::Base
  set_table_name "file_urls"
  ..
end

Ask yourself whether this is really a requirement in the first place. In general, you're best off going with the Ruby (and Rails) conventions rather than fighting them. Why not just name the model class FileUrl?
