[hibernate-dev] regarding more human-friendly table alias

My point might have been discussed previously. I beg your pardon if my message bothers you.

As everybody knows, Hibernate will create very terse and mystic table alias. I often feel frustrated by them when trying to read the SQL Hibernate has produced. There must be many thoughts behind its current design, I think. Could we achieve the goal to avoid sacrificing SQL readability while having our job done? Needless to say, experienced Hibernate user still needs to understand the auto-generated SQL for many reasons (troubleshooting, optimization),  and a human-friendly SQL might make for a far better user experience.

In terms of implementation, we can simulate human's thinking process when designing a table alias (TBH, sometimes even human is frustrated to think of a most satisfying alias). Many heuristics could be applied (e.g., hufman encoding algorithm) and it would be a good selling point for v6.

Any thoughts? Again, pardon me if the point has been discussed previously.
