Hi,
In the SQL "world", column names with several words are usually
separated by underlines "_"
Torque uses this naming convention to generate java variable names, and
getters and setters are generated with each word with the first char in
uppercase
and removes underlines,
Following your example, if you have a SQL column called DATE_POSTED,
Torque will generate a private variable named "date_posted" and following
methods "getDatePosted()", "setDatePosted(...)". This value would be
accessible
from Velocity as "DatePosted", or "getDatePosted()".
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Edward.
