You know you can setup table name filters in the sql dialect?
That's how we hide most of the system tables in Oracle for example.

This may backwards compatibility issues, what happens when someone using
uDig, GeoServer or another
application that mantains a configuration of its own referencing the old
name?
But I otherwise like the direction.

How do we complete the name? All applications should have to roll new code
to handle the switch? This would be really annoying towards users.
That's why I was suggesting to be lenient, if we get a non qualified name
try to match it
internally to a qualified one
Another possiblity would be to have a configuration flag specifying whether
to use qualified
or unqualified names
