[hibernate-dev] Re: regarding more human-friendly table alias
Hi Nathan,
this sounds worthwhile to me at a high level, but I'm not sure about
us being able to implement a reasonable heuristic. In particular, the
mentioned "huffman encoding" doesn't sound like an improvement over
the current strategy? I suppose you're not referring to the
compression algorithm? Maybe I misunderstand, it would help to see a
concrete example.
Thanks

many thoughts behind its current design, I think. Could we achieve the goal to avoid
sacrificing SQL readability while having our job done? Needless to say, experienced
Hibernate user still needs to understand the auto-generated SQL for many reasons
(troubleshooting, optimization), and a human-friendly SQL might make for a far better
user experience.

it would be a good selling point for v6.
