The names of most tables in the object model are similar to their corresponding table names in the database. Also, the names of most attributes in the object model are similar to their corresponding column names in the database. The name of a table or column in the database is usually the name of the table (or attribute) in the object model, except that it is in caps, with underscores between words. For example:

LContRelationType = L_CONT_RELATION_TYPE

shortDescription = SHORT_DESCRIPTION

TAccount = T_ACCOUNT

This convention is used for most, but not all, tables and attributes. To verify the name of a table or column in the database, refer to the corresponding XCT file, and check the External Name of the attribute or table, as described in Viewing XCT Files.
