Column name autoformat

Post by nicolafarina » Tue 08 Oct 2013 12:59

Hi all,

I see that for column names with camel case format, in data table view names are automatically converted with white spaces.

Example:

column name "FirstColumn" is seen in data table view like "First Column".

Can I disable it?

Thank you.

Such behavior is by design.

The column names will not have white spaces if you perform data export. Please refer to the 'Data Export' node in the product's Help documentation on how to export data through the Data Export wizard.

Alexa,

I can't understand your reply.

I have column names in my DB using camel case, as usually. F.E. "FirstName".

When I open the tables in dbForge Studio ("Retrieve Data" function) I see them as, f.e., "First Name". I don't use Data Export feature, I'm simply looking at data.

I can't imagine that this can't be disabled, is really confusing.

Thank you.

Hi!
It's the behavior of the third party component that we use. So, this is by design, and there is no option to turn it off.
Best Regards.

I highly suggest to fix it, it's really confusing for developers.

Thank you.
