Use the Model Naming Options dialog to specify how logical and physical model objects are named. The logical and physical model objects for which you can set name mapping preferences display. When two objects appear in the box, set the name mapping preferences from the first object to the second object. For example, for Entity to Table, set preferences for deriving a table name from an entity name. Domains, relationships, and validations are considered the same object in both the logical and physical model, so only one object appears in the box. The preferences that you set for naming the physical model object names must conform to the syntax rules of the target database. See the SQL Reference Guide of your DBMS for more information.
