Package org.hibernate.boot.model.naming

This API allows intervention by generic code in the process of determining the names of database objects (tables, columns, and constraints).

Name determination happens in two phases:

1. Logical naming is the process of applying naming rules to determine the names of objects which were not explicitly assigned names in the O/R mapping.

   Here, this is the responsibility of an implementation of ImplicitNamingStrategy.

2. Physical naming is the process of applying additional rules to transform a logical name into an actual "physical" name that will be used in the database. For example, the rules might include things like using standardized abbreviations, or trimming the length of identifiers.

   Here, this is the responsibility of an implementation of PhysicalNamingStrategy.

API Note:

The API defined in this package replaced the now-deprecated interface NamingStrategy from older versions of Hibernate.

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
EntityNaming
ImplicitAnyDiscriminatorColumnNameSource	Context for determining the implicit name for an ANY mapping's discriminator column.
ImplicitAnyKeyColumnNameSource	Context for determining the implicit name for an ANY mapping's key column.
ImplicitBasicColumnNameSource	Context for determining the implicit name related to basic values.
ImplicitCollectionTableNameSource	Context for determining the implicit name for a collection table.
ImplicitConstraintNameSource	Common implicit name source traits for all constraint naming: FK, UK, index
ImplicitDiscriminatorColumnNameSource	Context for determining the implicit name of an entity's discriminator column.
ImplicitEntityNameSource	Context for determining the implicit name of an entity's primary table
ImplicitForeignKeyNameSource
ImplicitIdentifierColumnNameSource	Context for determining the implicit name of an entity's identifier column.
ImplicitIndexColumnNameSource
ImplicitIndexNameSource
ImplicitJoinColumnNameSource	Context for determining the implicit name of a "join column" (think JoinColumn).
ImplicitJoinTableNameSource	Context for determining the implicit name for a join table.
ImplicitMapKeyColumnNameSource	Context for determining the implicit name of a column used to back the key of a Map.
ImplicitNameSource	Common contract for all implicit naming sources
ImplicitNamingStrategy	A set of rules for determining the logical name of a mapped relational database object when the mapping for an element of the Java domain model is not explicitly specified, neither in annotations of the Java code, nor in an XML-based mapping document.
ImplicitPrimaryKeyJoinColumnNameSource	Used to help determine the implicit name of columns which are part of a primary-key, well simultaneously being part of a foreign-key (join).
ImplicitTenantIdColumnNameSource	Context for determining the implicit name of an entity's tenant identifier column.
ImplicitUniqueKeyNameSource
NamingStrategyHelper	Helper contract for dealing with naming strategies.
PhysicalNamingStrategy	A set of rules for determining the physical names of objects in a relational database schema from the logical names specified by the object/relational mappings.

Class Summary

Class	Description
CamelCaseToUnderscoresNamingStrategy	Originally copied from Spring Boot as this strategy is popular there (original name is SpringPhysicalNamingStrategy).
DatabaseIdentifier	Models an identifier (name), retrieved from the database.
Identifier	Models an identifier (name), which may or may not be quoted.
ImplicitNamingStrategyComponentPathImpl	An ImplicitNamingStrategy implementation which uses full composite paths extracted from AttributePath, as opposed to just the terminal property part.
ImplicitNamingStrategyJpaCompliantImpl	Implementation of the ImplicitNamingStrategy contract, generally preferring to conform to JPA standards.
ImplicitNamingStrategyLegacyHbmImpl	Implements the original legacy naming behavior.
ImplicitNamingStrategyLegacyJpaImpl	Implementation of the ImplicitNamingStrategy contract which conforms to the naming rules initially implemented by Hibernate for JPA 1.0, prior to many things being clarified.
NamingHelper
ObjectNameNormalizer	Provides centralized normalization of how database object names are handled.
PhysicalNamingStrategyStandardImpl	Standard implementation of the PhysicalNamingStrategy contract.
