+ # By default, the prefix is the empty string.

+ # If you are organising your models within modules you can add a prefix to the models within

+ # Guesses the table name (in forced lower-case) based on the name of the class in the
+ # inheritance hierarchy descending directly from ActiveRecord::Base. So if the hierarchy
+ # looks like: Reply < Message < ActiveRecord::Base, then Message is used
+ # to guess the table name even when called on Reply. The rules used to do the guess
+ # are handled by the Inflector class in Active Support, which knows almost all common
+ # English inflections. You can add new inflections in config/initializers/inflections.rb.
+ #
+ # Nested classes are given table names prefixed by the singular form of
+ # the parent's table name. Enclosing modules are not considered.
+ #
+ # ==== Examples
+ #
+ # class Invoice < ActiveRecord::Base
+ # end
+ #
+ # file class table_name
+ # invoice.rb Invoice invoices
+ #
+ # class Invoice < ActiveRecord::Base
+ # class Lineitem < ActiveRecord::Base
+ # end
+ # end
+ #
+ # file class table_name
+ # invoice.rb Invoice::Lineitem invoice_lineitems
+ #
+ # module Invoice
+ # class Lineitem < ActiveRecord::Base
+ # end
+ # end
+ #
+ # file class table_name
+ # invoice/lineitem.rb Invoice::Lineitem lineitems
+ #
+ # Additionally, the class-level +table_name_prefix+ is prepended and the
+ # +table_name_suffix+ is appended. So if you have "myapp_" as a prefix,
+ # the table name guess for an Invoice class becomes "myapp_invoices".
+ # Invoice::Lineitem becomes "myapp_invoice_lineitems".
+ #
+ # You can also set your own table name explicitly:
+ #
+ # class Mouse < ActiveRecord::Base
+ # self.table_name = "mice"
+ # end
+ #
+ # Alternatively, you can override the table_name method to define your
+ # own computation. (Possibly using <tt>super</tt> to manipulate the default
+ # table name.) Example:
+ #
+ # class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
+ # def self.table_name
+ # "special_" + super
+ # end
+ # end
+ # Post.table_name # => "special_posts"
+ def table_name

+ #
+ # class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
