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

Hi Nathan,

this sounds worthwhile to me at a high level, but I'm not sure about
us being able to implement a reasonable heuristic. In particular, the
mentioned "huffman encoding" doesn't sound like an improvement over
the current strategy? I suppose you're not referring to the
compression algorithm? Maybe I misunderstand, it would help to see a
concrete example.

Thanks

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.
