What is the formula for naming link bean tables?

This is a copy of my question here, which has had no responses. I'm pretty sure Gabor can answer this question however...

I have a few link bean tables that were built by Redbean - each was created as a result of the following type of code; //generates tag_video table $tags = R::findAll('tag'); $video = R::dispense('video'); $video->sharedTag = $tags; R::store($video); //generates image_tag table $image = R::dispense('image'); $image->sharedTag = $tags; R::store($image); //generates document_tag table $document = R::dispense('document'); $document->sharedTag = $tags; R::store($document); Most of my link bean tables are named image_tag, document_tag. But I also have tag_video, which is a problem. I would prefer video_tag. I'd like to be able to predict the link bean table names because I want to use them in JOIN's for times when I query the database directly, rather than using the ORM. Is there a rule? Is it alphabetic perhaps? Can I insist on the 'parent' object type coming first in the table name?

Hi,

The tables are always named alphabetically.
Unfortunately given the fact that RB strives to be zero-conf, it's not recommended to enforce a naming convention.
RedBeanPHP allows you to change most of the schema policy rules but I recommend not to do this because it will
break things and defeat the purpose of RB althoghether.
