Hi folks,

does anyone know why in Hibernate 7.2.7 the default physical naming of columns changed in the way that previously in our database the column was named short\_name\_v2 and now is expected to be short\_namev2 for an entity field name that is shortNameV2?

Thanks in advance for any insights or ideas!  
Chris

Hibernate ORM 7.2.7 compared to which version? We fixed a bug related to naming strategies in Hibernate ORM 7.0: [Jira](https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-17310)

Thanks for your reply. That is probably the reason. We were on 6.6.44 previously
