        <name>UPOrigin</name>

Until version 3.11, you have to either fully qualify your expressions (including schema name) or leave them unqualified. I've created a feature request to improve this: https://github.com/jOOQ/jOOQ/issues/7947

In jOOQ 3.11, any of these should work:

Using an explicit schema name:

<forcedType>
    <name>UPOrigin</name>
    <expression>my_schema\.(up_entries\.origin|up_methods\.origin)</expression>
</forcedType>

Matching all schemas:

<forcedType>
    <name>UPOrigin</name>
    <expression>.*?\.(up_entries\.origin|up_methods\.origin)</expression>
</forcedType>

Using unqualified column names:

<forcedType>
    <name>UPOrigin</name>
    <expression>origin</expression>
</forcedType>
