try something like this. U need not call set_table_name from child class as
long as model name
matches with database table using prefix string.
class Abstract < ActiveRecord::Base
set_table_name "some_prefix_#{self.to_s.tableize}"
end
If you want to override then
class Photo < Abstract
set_table_name "some_different_table_from regular pattern"
end
