I believe the primary_key directive will tell AR what field to use as the
actual PK. Something like:
class MyClass < AR::Base
primary_key :actual_pk_field_name
end
Hopefully AR would then then ignore the id field.

Subject: [Rails] ID not primary key with not unique values
Sorry for the re-post. Nobody has even answered "no, can't do".
I have an ID column in a legacy table of type STRING and could contain not
unique values. Is there a way of disabling the convention of ID being the
primary key? How can I assign the values I need to the ID column without using
SQL, which I already know would work?
ruby: 1.8.6
rails: 2.3.2
Database: Oracle 10g
Thanks.
Pepe
