Custom Table and Column names #41

I created an Attribute allowing you to set a custom name to your lookup table and also to set the "Name" column to whatever you want. However, my code only modifies the generated SQL so I can't call the Apply method directly. It would be nice if there was built-in support to control the names of both the table and the colums directly

Why would you need this?

Pull requests welcome but I'd need convincing of the need for this extra feature.

I absolutely agree with @DanielPerezArmeria .

Prefixing the table with "Enum_" is bringing programming specific naming to a database context.

It pollutes the concept of the "entity type"

It is not even a complex request

timabell commented 6 years ago

Interesting, I think that's the result of coming at this with fresh eyes. I'm certainly persuaded it should be possible to not have a prefix.
