No tutorial that I know of.. You have the same information for all user types, namely just the important information for users. So - you keep password, username, first name, last name, email address etc in the User table.
Stuff like sport, training ground, weight, height, body-fat etc would go in a table like AthleticInfo stuff like restaurant, food speciality, chef qualifications etc would go in a table like ChefInfo then if user1 is a chef, he would have all the user info + type Chef and he would have an entry in the chef table user2 if she was a footballer would have all the user info + type Athlete and she would have an entry in the athlete table So, you don't need to keep all the chef or athlete data in the user table - you just have a reference to that info in the relevant table.. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
