What is interesting is that for renaming Entity Modeler is now pretty
smart. From the WOLips Blog:
Entity Modeler is much slicker about how it does live rename syncing.
If you use infix caps, prefix caps, underscores, all uppercase, all
lowercase, and several combinations of these, synced renames
understand that. For example, if your attribute is named "firstName"
and your column name is "first_name" if you rename the attribute to
"personFirstName" it will sync-as-you-type the column name to be
"person_first_name". It will also try to guess what it should use
based on other attributes and entities in your model. There are still
some things it misses, but it should be a much citizen in non-infix-
caps database environments.
Now if Mike could just get EM to accept a preference for how you want
names parsed on a model by model basis so you could say make my column
names ENTITY_NAME or Entity_Name or entity_name or entityName or
EntityName or etc...
That would be slick, but since he's at WWDC, and it's the WO sessions
today, there's _no way_ he could do that anytime soon.
