Custom column names

[timsaunders-vogogo]

Is there a way I can define the names of the columns (actable_id, actable_type), to whatever names I like? I have a legacy multiple table inheritance database, and am unable to change the column names. Is there a way I can change the columns to 'some_id_name' and 'a_different_type_name', instead of actable_id and actable_type?

Also, I can't declare as: on the actable and acts_as, since they have different leading names.

You can use names as in references migration method with :as option. For example:

actable as: :some_name

will produce some_name_id and some_name_type columns.
There is not any method to use fully custom names.
