True. I receive an unknown method error though.

Sorry - I seem to have missed posting the
class_name = table_name.camelize
line in there (have large sections of comments that I didn't want to
clutter the post).
I've changed the above code to:
APP_TABLES.each do |table_name|
class_name = table_name.camelize
klass = Class.new(App)
constant_name = "#{class_name}"
klass = class_eval do
set_table_name("#{class_name}") or puts "Class set table name
failed"
Object.const_set(constant_name, klass) or puts "Class name
constant set failed"
end # class_eval
but get an unknown method error on the set_table_name call.
The App class (below) inherits from ActiveRecord::Base which in turn
should have that method.
class App < ActiveRecord::Base
abstract_class = true
def initialize
establish_connection :app_development
end
# to avoid trying to connect to the Spydirdb table by default
def self.columns() @columns ||= []; end
end
