JPA - Using @Table

By default database table is mapped by the @Entity name e.g. @Entity(name = "myEntity").
If element 'name' of @Entity is not specified then the entity name and the table name will be the unqualified class name. If table name needs to be different than entity name, then we can use @Table annotation as shown in this example.
