Hi Everyone,

I've been playing around with RoR, and love it and am implementing a
project which I want to use the Single Table Inheritance Feature. The
convention is to use the column name 'type' to indicate the type name,
however using Firebird or MySQL 5, 'type' is a reserved word and cannot
be used as a column name.

What is the convention for changing the column name but can still use
the single inheritance feature?

Would really appreciate it.

Cheers,
Gigi
