db.define_table creates a model of the database table so the DAL can generate proper SQL queries to interact with the table -- so naturally the model must have the correct table and field names, otherwise the DAL would generate SQL queries referring to non-existent tables and fields. If for some reason you want to use different table and field names in your model, you can use the "rname" argument to db.define_table and Field() to specify the "real" name of the table/field (i.e., the name used by the database). This is useful if the real name used in the database is not a valid Python identifier.
