    Well, it could, based on the naming conventions: e.g.
    "artist_id" from any table is a relation to "artists" table.
    When doing reverse engineering there is the SmartNamingStrategy selectable, that I think is supposed to do exactly this kind of convention based recognition.
    At least from it's test class:
    cayenne\framework\cayenne-modeler\src\test\java\org\apache\cayenne\modeler\util\SmartNamingStrategyTest.java
    it looks like it's trying to test something in this direction.

    Thanks,
    Joseph.
