Absolutely, and odds are the OP will encounter other grief in the form
of naming conventions/pluralization yadda yadda. :-)

But creating a model and seeing what happens and where it breaks[*]
is the best way to start, IMO. And as a matter of fact I'm currently up
to my armpits in a similar project, though I do have the leeway to do
a few Railsizations to the db schema, thankfully.

[*] by writing tests, hopefully!
