    #alias_attribute(new_name, old_name)  
  



  

    

Allows you to make aliases for attributes.



class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
  alias_attribute :nickname, :name
end

person = Person.create(name: 'Bob')
person.name     # => "Bob"
person.nickname # => "Bob"



The alias can also be used for querying:



Person.where(nickname: "Bob")
# SELECT "people".* FROM "people" WHERE "people"."name" = "Bob"

    #attribute_method?(attribute)  ⇒ Boolean 
  



  

    

Returns true if attribute is an attribute method and table exists, false otherwise.

Returns an array of column names as strings if it’s not an abstract class and table exists. Otherwise it returns an empty array.

    #dangerous_attribute_method?(name)  ⇒ Boolean 
  

  

    This method is for internal use only.
  



  

    

A method name is ‘dangerous’ if it is already (re)defined by Active Record, but not by any ancestors. (So ‘puts’ is not dangerous but ‘save’ is.)
