there is another important case which is not covered in RFC.
Same table name in multiple schemas. Also, how to not mess up when users
logs using different credentials.

One way to solve that could be to always use rdbms schema name as fdo schema
name.

I believe it is absolutely necessary that application using FDO to access
rdbms can be sure exactly which table and column it is accessing.
Because what FDO provider sees when connects to rdbms can change regarding
which credentials are used to connect to rdbms. That menas that on same
database it can see only one table, or two tables (same name) in two schemas
or even one or more geometry columns in table.

I am not keen on current naming in King.Oracle with this ~ sign, but I am
very pleased that when using King.Oracle and FDO class trough it, I know
every time exactly which Oracle schema, table and column I am hitting.




Just when wanted to finish something else from RFC:
"Class names for databases are normally tablename, unless qualified which
then has ~COLUMN_NAME appended. (if the are multiple geometries, FDO
requires to know which one is the identifier)"

In King.Oracle ~COLUMN_NAME is appened to make sure resulting name would be
unique. Which actuall oracle column is used is not parsed from name of class
but it is kept inside provider. ~COLUMN_NAME could be anything.
