Interface IDbNameGuesser

All Known Implementing Classes:

DbNameGuesser

public interface IDbNameGuesser

This interface represents the functions made available by the database name guessers used in Mr. Persister. The responsibility of the database name guesser is to "guess" (generate) possible either table names from class names, or to "guess" possible column names from class method names (getters and setters).

The database name guesser is used internally in the object mapper. The names generated by the database name guesser are used to feed the database name determiner that determines which of the name guesses (generated possible names) is the correct one.
