Hello Friends, I am trying to define relationship between real-world entities in my application.... But I am feel, I am over-representing it a little and hence would like your opinion.
class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :user_groups attr_accessible :username, :email, :password, :password_confirmation end class Customer < User has_many :orders belongs_to :person end class Employee < User belongs_to :person end class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :addresses end Should I merge User and Person Models? Basically user has only login information while Person has details like first_name, last_name, address and so on.... Also, should Customer and Employee inherit from Person or User? Trying to normalize stuff but dont want to over-normalize it too.. Thank you. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
