Jakarta Persistence (JPA) Annotation Type

jakarta.persistence.Table

Implemented Interfaces:
Annotation
Target:
Type
Specifies the primary table mapped by the annotated entity type.

Additional tables may be specified using SecondaryTable or SecondaryTables annotation.

If no Table annotation is specified for an entity class, the default values apply.

Example: 

 @Entity
 @Table(name = "CUST", schema = "RECORDS")
 public class Customer { ... }

This annotation may not be applied to a class annotated MappedSuperclass or Embeddable.

Since:
Jakarta Persistence (JPA) 1.0
