jOOQ ignores column name casing when generation code from Postgresql table

Question

I'm using jOOQ 3.10.1 with Postgres JDBC driver 42.1.4 and trying to generate code for following table:

create table "SampleTable"(
    "ID" serial primary key,
    "AnotherField" integer
);

jOOQ generates following code:

public interface ISampletable extends Serializable {
    public Integer getId();
    public Integer getAnotherfield();
//...

How can i configure jOOQ to generate case-sensitive code?

By default, jOOQ's code generator follows Java's code style:

• classes are generated in PascalCase
• members and methods are generated in camelCase
• identifiers are generated in UPPER_CASE_WITH_UNDERSCORE

But you can override this behaviour easily using a generator strategy. There are two flavours:

• Programmatic (more powerful, a bit more effort to set up): https://www.jooq.org/doc/latest/manual/code-generation/codegen-generatorstrategy
• Configurative (less powerful, quite easy to set up): https://www.jooq.org/doc/latest/manual/code-generation/codegen-matcherstrategy

In your case, the configurative approach might do, or you can simply use the built-in org.jooq.codegen.KeepNamesGeneratorStrategy.
