[hibernate-dev] Naming and "naming strategies"

[Steve Ebersole]

So here is what I have for implicit naming strategy, in simplified form:


   1. Table naming
      1. Entity primary table - @Table
      2. Join table - @JoinTable
      3. Collection table - @CollectionTable
      4. <secondary table are required to be explicitly named>
   2. Column naming
      1. basic attribute column
      2. entity discriminator column
      3. tenant id column
      4. @Any discriminator column
      5. @Any key column
      6. @JoinColumn
      7. @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn

Especially as far as column naming goes, can anyone see any I am missing?
