Model naming convention for Rails

Override Rails controller routing with capital letters in model name

I followed that question and answer, but it did not help me.

I need to create a model from an already existing table, BBOrders.

What is .rb file, class name, how would I access it in the console and do I have to add anything inside the class.

Right now what I have is 

b_b_order.rb

 class BBOrder < ActiveRecord::Base 
   set_table_name "BBorders"
   set_primary_key "orderID"
end

and when I call the BBOrder.all in the console, I get the unitialized constant BBOrder.

'BBOrder'.underscore #=> 'bb_order'

This means your file should be named bb_order.rb

Inside of your class you need to change set_table_name and set_primary_key to the following:

bb_order.rb

class BBOrder < ActiveRecord::Base 
  self.table_name =  "BBorders"
  self.primary_key =  "orderID"
end
