Table

The Table annotation defines the database table an entity is mapped to. It has a single attribute, value, which represents the name of the table. If the annotation is not provided, the entity is mapped to a table with the same name as the class. For example, a persistent class FooBar which does not have a Table annotation will be mapped to the table foobar.

Table Example

As described above, the Table annotation is not required; however, it can be used to explicitly define the table a model class maps to. Below is an example which uses the Table annotation to map the class Foo to the table my_table.

@Table("my_table")
public class Foo {
    // ...
}
