Generating target-type xsd with element names in camelCase

Question

Env: ODSI 10gR3, Workshop 10gR3, Oracle DB 10gR3
We are developing logical data services following a bottom up approach. The source physical data services that we use to build the logical ds have xsd definitions in which element names are in CAPS_CAPS naming convention (following the same names as the database tables). For example, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME, etc.
When we use Query Map to generate xsd for the target types of the logical ds, it generates element names that are also in the CAPS_CAPS convention. Is there a way to generate the target type xsd in which CAPS_CAPS names are converted to camelCase, e.g. FIRST_NAME becomes firstName.
Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

mixed-case with underscores removed vs. upper case is only one variation. Someone might like to rename SSN to SocialSecurityNumber, someone might like to rename LAST_NAME to Surname or FamilyName etc.
You can do any renaming etc. with a Logical Data Service. See the "Best Practices" which is posted as an Announcement in this forum.
Typically customers put their Physical (i.e. generated) data services in a Physical folder, and then create a parallel Logical folder (including the schemas folder). Then you would create new schemas in Logical/schemas with the new names, create new Logical data services to match the physical ones, then create a 'read' function that uses the physical read function and map the elements of the physical read function to the logical schema (with the new names). Then you can generate the create/delete/update procedures in the Logical data services.
Getting back to your original question - the answer is No. There is no feature with in ODSI to automatically transform element names to something else.
