Hi all! When I design database datamodels I usually encounter clashes between reserved names and names I'd like to use for my tables/columns, e.g. "user", "role", etc.. So I ended up prefixing all tables/views/columns: Tables have a "tbl" prefix, views a "qry" prefix and columns either have a "fld" or a prefix based on the datatype ("txt"/"str" for varchars, etc.).
I like to keep my mapping files small (/ to have few xdoclet tags) and like the fact that hibernate has smart default for column names: it uses the property's name. Would it be possible/would you consider it useful to be able to specify "default prefixes" for tables/columns so that I don't have to name my columns manually in my mappings when I have to use prefixes? Such settings could go into the SessionFactory configuration. Opinions?
