Hibernate ORM - hibernate-core 6.4.4.Final · org.hibernate.boot.model.naming.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.

A physical name is a name used to interact with the database, and will always be used in generated SQL, both DML and DDL.
A logical name is a name used to within annotations of Java code and XML mapping documents.

Logical names provide an additional level of indirection between the mappings and the database schema, and a PhysicalNamingStrategy even allows the use of more "natural" naming within the mappings in cases where the relational schema features especially inelegant legacy naming conventions. For example, it could shield the mappings from old-fashioned practices like prefixing table names with TBL_.

Note, however, that handwritten native SQL must be written in terms of physical names, so the abstraction here is in some sense "incomplete".

A PhysicalNamingStrategy may be selected using the configuration property hibernate.physical_naming_strategy.
