the next section at
https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/orm/mapping_columns.html#automating-column-naming-schemes-from-reflected-tables
shows how to automate intercepting of reflected columns, so you could do this:
from sqlalchemy import event
@event.listens_for(metadata, "column_reflect")
def column_reflect(inspector, table, column_info):
entries = {
"1st": "first",
"2nd": "second",
"3rd": "third",
"4th": "fourth"
}
for prefix in entries:
if prefix in column["name"]:
column["key"] = column["name"].replace(prefix, entries[prefix])
break
class Student(Model):
__table__ = Table("Students", metadata, autoload=True, autoload_with=engine)
