| 17. Custom column/table names
 | |
| 
 | |
| If your database column name is different than your model attribute, use the
 | |
| ``db_column`` parameter. Note that you'll use the field's name, not its column
 | |
| name, in API usage.
 | |
| 
 | |
| If your database table name is different than your model name, use the
 | |
| ``db_table`` Meta attribute. This has no effect on the API used to
 | |
| query the database.
 | |
| 
 | |
| If you need to use a table name for a many-to-many relationship that differs
 | |
| from the default generated name, use the ``db_table`` parameter on the
 | |
| ManyToMany field. This has no effect on the API for querying the database.
