[Rails] Re: difference between belongs_to and references keyword?

I've written a short example about has_many, belongs_to -
http://gist.github.com/425026

has_many, has_one, belongs_to deffinitions goes into model and not in
scaffold. You can use "references" like this: script/generate scaffold
address company:references address:text

but as I mentioned in this discussion http://railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=39325
(look for andain's posts) I'm running into problems where views are
generated without appended _id. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong
or just not getting it right ...

Anyway I hope i shed some light on your problem.
