How to Convert Database Columns to lowerCamelCase and PascalCase

Case conversion recombines delimiter-separated words with a new capitalization rule. For multiline database columns, preserve line count and order, then review project-specific acronym handling.

01

lowerCamelCase versus PascalCase

lowerCamelCase starts the first word in lowercase and capitalizes later words, common for fields and variables.

PascalCase capitalizes the first word as well and is common for classes and types.

  • GRN_FEE_AMT → grnFeeAmt
  • GRN_FEE_AMT → GrnFeeAmt
02

Batch conversion of database columns

Enter one column per line to preserve source order. Confirm that input and output line counts match.

Spaces, hyphens, and underscores act as delimiters, so SELL-CLIENT-CD and SELL_CLIENT_CD can normalize identically.

03

Review acronyms and numbers

API_URL or IP_ADDR may become ApiUrl or IpAddr because acronyms are treated as ordinary words. Adjust the result if your project preserves forms such as apiURL.

Test names containing numbers and already-camel input before converting a large list.

04

Checks before changing code

Changing only a DTO field without its getters, setters, mappers, and JSON keys can break integration. Search the whole project for references.

The converted output is a convenient draft; team conventions and external API contracts remain authoritative.
