Description

The structure of the schema generation is at times confusing. This should also be looked at on a wider scale.

As a starter we have variable names that aren't really expressive or express something different. Some functionality is spread over different components and is redundant at times.

An example can be found in #256.
This is an incomplete TODO list:

  • rename table to collection when retrieving yml data
  • TableFieldType has a table and view attribute. Use them properly.

Research direction

Start by reading the schema-generation structure and the related example in issue #256. Trace how YAML data is retrieved and how TableFieldType uses its table and view attributes; done means the listed naming and attribute inconsistencies are resolved and redundant or scattered functionality is addressed.
