Ruby on Rails

This is not a Ruby method. This is part of ActiveRecord, and is used by
Rails to manage single-table inheritance.

I'm adding a solution for future askers. This applies to Rails 3:

class ExampleModel < ActiveRecord::Base
set_inheritance_column do
'disabled'
end
end


This changes the name of the column that ActiveRecord looks for, to use
for STI. As long as you pick something that doesn't actually match any
of your column names, it has the effect of disabling inheritance
altogether.
