I maintain a rails app which uses a lot of data from a commercial system (a student records system) and adds much functionality.
I'm having to make some changes to make the system work with upcoming changes to their database and have run into a situation where using single table inheritance would be the perfect solution. The only problem is that the column I need to use stores the object type as a single letter instead of a whole class name. Is there a way I can use STI with a mapping for type column? So that the string stored in the type column is not the class name, but maps 1-to-1 to one?
