[Rails] de-normalized table associations

Hi,

Working with legacy DB here...

2 tables:
Projects
Workers

A worker record has many fields in it to hold project codes as in:
project1, project2, project3, ... project30 (great, isn't it?...)

Normalizing the DB is out of the question.

I've been thinking about this for a while and I can't find a way to
associate both tables as in:

"Project has_many :workers"
"Worker.project1 belongs_to :project"
"Worker.project2 belongs_to :project"
etc.

Any ideas?

Pepe
