Subject: Newbie quesiton about inheritance single table

Hello ng,

person.rb:
_____________________________
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base

 def initialize(mytype)
   @type=mytype.to_s
 end

 def self.find_employee
   find(:all, :conditions => "type='Employee''")
 end


end

class Employee < Person
 def initialize
   super('Employee')
 end

end

class Manager < Person
 def initialize
   super('Manager')
 end

end
____________________

Okay, if I run ruby script/console
and create an instance of Employee with :
e= Employee.new

following error displayed:

uninitialized Constant Employee

if I first create a Person with:

p= Person.new('Bla Bla')

and then create an instance of Employee
with e= Employee.new

why is it so???

Thanks for help

Tobias
