Yes, this is supported.
class MyBaseClass  self.abstract_class = trueend
class MySubClass < MyBaseClassend
http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Base.html

Hi
 
I was attempting to do a bit of refactoring.  I had 
one model class, in which I had defined a few operations. Then along came a 
second one, where I wanted the same operations, so I started to create a common 
base class for them, which naturally inherits from 
ActiveRecord::Base
 
Now, I get all sorts of errors, and it looks like rails 
is taking the base class name and assuming it'll find a table relating to it, 
which in my case it won't.
 
Is this somehow supported, or should I be using a 
module/mixin instead?
 
Thanks,
Simon
