A little gotcha I ran into.

This must be defined before you define your relationships.

ie: class Ticket < ActiveRecord::Base set_table_name 'ticket' belongs_to :customer has_one :account, :through => :customer end

if you do the relationships first it will not use the correct table name on the lookups.
