Description

I'm starting with the ORM and I try y best to right as few things as possible and hand over complex things to the lib.

I would like to create the following class:

class CropMask(Base, table=True): """Cropmask used to filter data when loading indicators from GEE.   All the cropmasks are exported as images in GEE to accelerate computation.  """ id: Optional[int] = Field(default=None, primary_key=True) name: str "technical name of the asset. Use snake case like 'esa_crop'" asset_id: str "the binary asset to use as a mask image" geolocations: list["Geolocation"] = Relationship(back_populates="crop_mask") "The geolocations that use this cropmask"

and add a relation with the geolocation class as :

class Geolocation(Base, table=True): """The geolocation as defined in MDM.   The Geolocation are aggregation of multiple administrative areas from GADM. They are used to reduce the amount of reducers to compute when downloading an indicator from GEE.  For example we don't need to download all France département when computing Wheat related indicators, only the ones where Wheat is grown.  The values of this table should be populated from MDM sources at building stage of the DB to match company description of geometries.  """ id: Optional[int] = Field(default=None, primary_key=True) gid_ldc: str "The name of the geolocation" display_name: str "The name use by platform member to name this aggregation" crop_mask_id: Optional[int] = Field(default=None, foreign_key="crop_mask.id") crop_mask: Optional[CropMask] = Relationship(back_populates="geolocations") "The cropmask used to filter the data when computing indicators"

In the Field definition, I need to use the table name and if I'm correct this name is generated from the class name by default. The default behaviour seems to be CropMask -> cropmask but I would prefer to have snake case names. AS I would this behaviour to be available to all my classe, is there a way to modify how the SQLModel generate table names when the tablename is missing ?

Output:

CREATE TABLE crop_mask ( id INTEGER NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id) )
