Yes, I can certainly see the attraction - and it *has* been requested before.
It would be nice to be able to plug in a something like: NamingStrategy strategy = new MyCustomNamingStrategy(); Configuration cfg = new Configuration(); cfg.setNamingStrategy(strategy); perhaps we could even allow this as: <hibernate-mapping naming="pkg.MyCustomNamingStrategy"> The naming strategy itself would have methods like: String getColumnName(String propertyName) String getTableName(String className) String overrideColumName(String columnName) String overrideTableName(String tableName) Add a feature request to JIRA! Note that this is *really* easy to do, with just a little bit of playing with the .cfg package. Why not implement it yourself, and send a patch? |---------+-------------------------------------------> | | Timo Verhoeven <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>| | | Sent by: | | | [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | | ceforge.net | | | | | | | | | 02/08/03 02:25 AM | | | | |---------+-------------------------------------------> >------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | cc: | | Subject: [Hibernate] Feature idea | >------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| 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?
