table_name=(value)

public

Sets the table name explicitly. Example:

class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
  self.table_name = "project"
end

You can also just define your own self.table_name method; see the documentation for ActiveRecord::Base#table_name.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/model_schema.rb, line 138
      def table_name=(value)
        value = value && value.to_s

        if defined?(@table_name)
          return if value == @table_name
          reset_column_information if connected?
        end

        @table_name        = value
        @quoted_table_name = nil
        @arel_table        = nil
        @sequence_name     = nil unless defined?(@explicit_sequence_name) && @explicit_sequence_name
        @relation          = Relation.create(self, arel_table)
      end
