    Then you can't distinguish a joined column from a normal column. And
    it would open up naming conflicts - which is the reason why the
    layer name prefix was introduced. Bad, in my opinion.<br>

                    Hi Harish,<br>
                    Layer names are prepended to avoid troube with
                    columns having the same<br>
                    name (often the case with "id" or "name" columns).<br>
                    You can change the layer name to empty, then only an
                    underscore _ will<br>
                    be prepended - this saves characters.<br>
                    An alternative is to open a feature request for
                    adding an option to<br>
                    not prepend layer names.<br>
                    Best wishes,<br>
