I just wanted to clarify here a bit. As far as I know, the only time that
this could be a problem is when we need @Column to refer to the primary
table and the name of the primary table is implicit. But JPA designs for
that by saying that @Column is expected to refer to the primary table when
@Column#table is null or not specified. What I was saying above was this,
imo, it is not a reasonable for this to work:
@Entity
public Customer {
@Column( ..., table="Customer" )
...
}
I just think that makes no sense.
Am I missing any potential uses where @Column#table would refer to
something that might reasonably be implicit?
