Actually I solved it this way:
in my DAO code, I use a generic, ID and Name for key/value pair. Then in
my iBatis SQLMap I used aliases to rename my columns to what my DAO
expect.
<select id="..." resultClass="java.util.HashMap">
select SKU is ID, Description as Name from Items
</select>
Now my DAO code is free again from Knowing how the tables are built.
