Hello, I'm writing a Rails application that will track people's interests. I'd like to keep detailed information about each type of interest so I can't just put everything in the interest table (the table would be just too wide)
User has_many :interests Interest belongs_to :user has_many :sports has_many :books has_many :tv_shows etc., etc. I was thinking that interest would have a type property that tells you which one of the relationships will have the data. I know about single table inheritances and polymorphic relationships but can't figure out how to apply them to come up with an elegant solution.
