New Feature	yes
RFC	yes
BC Break	no

Summary

At https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/2.15/cookbook/sql-table-prefixes.html, example code for an event listener is shown that prepends a given prefix to all tables used by the ORM.

The suggestion is to improve this code a bit and include it in the ORM repo/package itself so that others can easily use it.

The improvement would be that an array of class namespace prefix => table prefix can be given. For any particular entity class, find the first array entry that aligns with the entity's FQCN (probably making sure we're splitting at \ only, right?) and use the corresponsing prefix.

Then, make this configurable in e. g. DoctrineBundle.

Use case

I have a Symfony application and use two third-party bundles. Both bundles bring along an ORM entity classes, including Acme\Entity\Category and SuperduperInc\Entity\Category. Both compete for the category table name.

If I could configure table name prefixes Acme\Entity\=> acme_ and SuperduperInc\Entity\ => superduper_, this could be resolved.
