Is there a way for the reverse engineering tool to generate constants for column names?

For example:

public static final String MY_COLUMN_NM = "MY_COLUMN_NM";

I would like to occasionally write SQL queries without using column name literals.

Thanks!

Its more or less like using reflections. Could you brief me how this constant file will help u

There is meta attribute "default-value", but you should manually specify default value for each property you want.
Or you could modify PojoFields.ftl template.
Use what is better for you.

Thanks all. I'll give that a shot. The constants are just a nice thing to have in cases where we want to run standard SQL queries. You can avoid using string literals and track when there are schema changes at compile time.
