ability mapping model's field to different column name

[toghrulgasimov]

is there a way to change column name of model in database?

Out of curiosity, what would be the point of that ?

Probably connecting Norm to an existing table.

This can be implemented in a similar manner to tableName pragma: https://github.com/moigagoo/norm/pull/123/

I can fully confirm that this would be the usecase, at least for me. In my case, I've got a table generated from another framework from which I'm rewriting the backend. That gave me lots of columns with an _id suffix. Currently I'm writing my models in a way that I have an entire instance of a Campaign object sitting behind a fieldName of campaign_id, which is a somewhat confusing read for somebody uninitiated.

Same here. If Norm had more support for using existing databases, I would definitely consider to use it in many more places.

I'll take a look at this. Shouldn't be too hard.

However, custom primary keys have higher priority to me.
