You can certainly subclass a model. Then the subclass could have a :has_one relationship to another model with the extra columns which the superclass doesn't have. If you want to make it transparent, you can delegate the calls for the extra tables in the associated model, so instead of: foo.bar.extra_value you can call: foo.extra_value -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
