Excellent - thanks for this modification!
I noticed that there is a regression. The GUI to choose certain columns
from the joined table is always deactivated. So no chance anymore to
select certain fields.
I don't know when this regression was introduced.
Tested with PostgreSQL tables.
I opened a bug report: http://hub.qgis.org/issues/12042

I just merged this functionality.
When you create a join, you may specify a prefix. This can be an empty
string.
By default it is unspecified and "layername_" is used, so it is exactly
like before.
Best,
Matthias

I think leaving it up to the user is the best option here.

Then you can't distinguish a joined column from a normal column. And it
would open up naming conflicts - which is the reason why the layer name
prefix was introduced. Bad, in my opinion.

Thanks for kind replies. A feature request for adding an option to
not prepend layer names will be better.

or - the even better way would be to allow the user to define a very
short user-defined table name prefix (1-3 chars).

Hi Harish,
Layer names are prepended to avoid troube with columns having the same
name (often the case with "id" or "name" columns).
You can change the layer name to empty, then only an underscore _ will
be prepended - this saves characters.
An alternative is to open a feature request for adding an option to
not prepend layer names.
Best wishes,
Anita
