+==Class Table Inheritance
+
+Class Table Inheritance for ActiveRecord using updateable views.
+
+More about the pattern on http://www.martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/classTableInheritance.html. This gem messes very little with Rails inheritance mechanism. 
+Instead it relies on updatable views in the database to represent classes in the inheritance chain. The approach was first {suggested by John 
+Wilger}[http://web.archive.org/web/20060408145717/johnwilger.com/articles/2005/09/29/class-table-inheritance-in-rails-with-postgresql].
+
+
+==Requirements
+
+Rails: 3.2.x
+
+Ruby: tested with 1.8.7 and 1.9.3
+
+Database: PostgreSQL 8.1+ only. Patches for other DBMS are welcome. Note that you are not required to use updateable views, children relations can be tables (with some triggers involved) or materialized views.
+
+==Install
+
+  gem install updateable_views_inheritance
+
+==Usage
+
+===Setup
+
+In Gemfile
+
+  gem 'updateable_views_inheritance'
+
+Keep in mind that only PostgreSQL is currently supported.
+1. <tt>rake updateable_views_inheritance:setup</tt> to create a migration.
+1. <tt>rake db:migrate</tt>.
+1. In <tt>config/environment.rb</tt> set <tt>config.active_record.schema_format = :sql</tt>. Database views and rules are not supported in default schema.rb.
+
+===Example
+
+  class CtiExample < ActiveRecord::Migration
+    def self.up
+      create_table :locomotives do |t|
+        t.column :name, :string
+        t.column :max_speed, :integer
+        t.column :type, :string
+      end
+      
+      create_child(:steam_locomotives, :parent => :locomotives) do |t|
+        t.decimal :water_consumption, :precision => 6, :scale => 2
+        t.decimal :coal_consumption,  :precision => 6, :scale => 2
+      end
+      
+      create_child(:electric_locomotives, :table => :raw_electric_locomotives, :parent => :locomotives)  do |t|
+        t.decimal :electricity_consumption, :precision => 6, :scale => 2
+      end
+    end
+    
+    def self.down
+      drop_child  :steam_locomotives
+      drop_child  :electric_locomotives
+      drop_table  :locomotives
+    end
+  end
+
+And the models:
+  class Locomotive
+  end
+  
+  class SteamLocomotive < Locomotive
+    self.table_name =  :steam_locomotives
+  end
+
+  class ElectricLocomotive < Locomotive
+    self.table_name =  :electric_locomotives
+  end
+
+Note that models of children classes must specify table name explicitly.
+
+===Changing Columns in Underlying Tables
+
+  class RemoveColumnInParentTable < ActiveRecord::Migration
+    def self.up
+      remove_parent_and_children_views(:locomotives)
+      remove_column(:locomotives, :max_speed)
+      rename_column(:name, :title)
+      rebuild_parent_and_children_views(:locomotives)
+    end
+  end 
+
+===Renaming Underlying Tables
+
+  remove_parent_and_children_views(:old_name)
+  rename_table(:old_name,:new_name)
+  execute "UPDATE updateable_views_inheritance SET child_aggregate_view = 'new_name' WHERE child_aggregate_view = 'old_name'"
+  execute "UPDATE updateable_views_inheritance SET parent_relation = 'new_name' WHERE parent_relation = 'old_name'"
+  rebuild_parent_and_children_views(:new_name)
+
+===Removing Classes
+
+Note that you should remove only leaf classes (i.e. those that do not have descendants). If you want to erase a whole chain or part of chain you have to remove first the leaves and then their ancestors. Use <tt>drop_child(child_view)</tt> in migrations.
+
+==Compatibility with Single Table Inheritance
+
+The approach of this gem is completely independent from Rails single table inheritance. STI and CLTI can safely be mixed in one inheritance chain.
+
+==Testing Your App
+
+Run <tt>rake updateable_views_inheritance:fixture</tt> to generate fixture for the updateable_views_inheritance table. <b>Without it primary key sequence for 
+inheritors' tables won't be bumped to the max and it might not be possible to save objects!</b>
+
+This gem re-enables referential integrity on fixture loading, so if you are using foreign keys you will have to explicitly declare fixture load order in test_helper.rb like this:
+
+  fixtures(:roots, :trunks, :leafs, ...)
