What exactly do you want to achieve? Do you want to have custom names in your ManyToMany table? If this is the case, isn't the column_format argument enough for you? And, FWIW, there is no rationale. This is just the way it is because nobody really needed custom names beyond what column_format allows you do to yet. What you suggest is probably a more elegant solution to the column_format argument. I was a bit uneasy to implement it because in the case where several columns are needed on one (or both) side(s), the column names would need to be given in the same order the primary key columns are declared on the targeted entities. Now that I think of it, I don't think it's an unreasonable requirement if it is clearly stated in the documentation. A patch in that direction would be very likely to be accepted ;-). -- Gaëtan de Menten http://openhex.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SQLElixir" group.
