You can also use the table name prefix hooks that AR provides - but that 
  will assume most of your tables are in a single schema (which is often 
the case).  Then use the table_name stuff for exceptions.

I believe you want to set the class variable "table_name_prefix" in 
ActiveRecord::Base to use this approach.  Have a look through the docs.
