I'll second Dr. Hipp's statement. I have my own wrapper that I've written for internal use and seem to be getting along just fine with column names as they are. I do expect the developer (me, in this case) to be smart enough refer to a column by the same name both when setting the SQL and when retrieving the results set. I'm curious just why you feel that you need something different than that. I can't imagine that I'd take too kindly to a wrapper that thought it knew better than me what I wanted to call the columns.
