Reserved SQL keyword 'User' is not permitted as simple type name

Question

When I gave the roo command

entity --class  ~.domain.User

in the roo shell, I got

Reserved SQL keyword 'User' is not permitted as simple type name

What I want to know is that, is there a way to gave alias name to the entity ? Because I do have a couple of entities which name are not permitted as above. Or is there a way to overcome this kind of problem ?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Answer 1

You could try to add the --permitReservedWords option to the entity command.

Answer 2

If you want to change the entity name, but keep the table name:

entity --class ~.domain.FooUser --table user

I would think there is a way to quote all sql identifiers, but I don't know that much about Roo.
