Legacy database attributes with dashes

#5863

Rails 3.0.1 with Ruby 1.9.2

I am connecting to a legacy sql server database which uses dashes for its field names.

I am getting an error in active_model/attribute_methods.rb on line 173 that states that Record-1? unexpected '-', expecting keyword_end.

It is nasty, but there have to be other people who have to deal with this sort of legacy system.
