Will it be an issue if I create a model in rails for the join table that was created through habtm?

Question

Consider the following:

I have a model Tags and Post.

There is a habtm relationship created such that I have models_tags table created.

Will it cause a problem if I create a model for the join table(models_tags)?

It won't work without adjustments.

HABTM join tables don't have an id column, which you would need to add and make work.

You'd also have to have the model called ModelsTag unless you wanted to rename the table also.

So it's never possible to add data to a table with no Id column in RoR is it? – Vineeth Ramesh Mar 30 '16 at 12:42
