TAutomappingEngine Class

Defines the naming conventions used when automapping Delphi classes to database tables and columns.

Remarks

When the Automapping attribute is applied to a class, Aurelius uses an instance of TAutomappingEngine to derive table names, column names, join column names, and sequence names from RTTI information. The default implementation strips the leading T prefix from class names and the leading F prefix from field names, then converts PascalCase to UPPER_SNAKE_CASE (e.g. TOrderItem -> ORDER_ITEM, FCustomerName -> CUSTOMER_NAME). To apply different conventions, inherit from TAutomappingEngine, override the relevant virtual methods, and pass the subclass to the Automapping attribute: [Automapping(TMyEngine)].

Syntax
