How do I explicitly specify a Model's table-name mapping in Rails?

Question

I have a Model class called Countries and I want it to map to a DB table called 'cc'.

How is that done in Rails?

Answer 1

Rails >= 3.2 (including Rails 4+ and 5+):

class Countries < ActiveRecord::Base
  self.table_name = "cc"
end

Rails <= 3.1:

class Countries < ActiveRecord::Base
  self.set_table_name "cc"
  ...
end
