That's right.  In your config/environment.rb you would add:

     config.active_record.table_name_prefix = 'rails_'

Then your Team model would map to the table rails_teams.  Once the  
prefix is configured you forget all about it in your code.  For  
example, if you wanted to add a column later on via a migration, you  
would do:

     add_column :teams, :name, :string

...and not `add_column :rails_teams ...`
