thanks @pjebs for your reply. the way you provided means i have to define this TableName() for every struct, i think it will be better if gorm has builtin similar mechanism.

Create a method called TableName() on the struct to give a custom name.

General mapping rules definition/override would be nice for tables as well as columns.

Overwrite the DefaultTableNameHandler method

jinzhu on 18 Apr 2017

@jinzhu It doesn't work in using db.AutoMigrate(Model{}) or db.First(Model{}).
Because DefaultNameHandler is called only from ModelStruct.
If a model implements tabler interface, DefaultNameHandler is never called.

So, I create pull request. Please take a look?
