ManyToOne relation with custom column name

I’m trying to get setup an example for my mysql-db with real customer data (and tables). Two simple tables called artikel and kollektion have a simple may-to.one relation (many articles may be part of one collection).

`

@Table(“artikel”) export class Artikel {

@PrimaryColumn("int", { generated: true })
@Column({name: "artikel_id"})
id: number;

@Column({name: "artikel_nummer"})
nummer: string;

@Column({name: "artikel_name"})
name: string;

@Column({name: "artikel_extrabarcode"})
extrabarcode: string;

@Column({name: "artikel_saison"})
saison: string;

@ManyToOne(type => Kollektion, { cascadeAll: true })
@Column("int", {name: "id_kollektion"})
kollektion: Kollektion;

}

@Table(“kollektion”) export class Kollektion {

@PrimaryColumn("int", { generated: true })
@Column({name: "kollektion_id"})
id: number;

@Column({name: "kollektion_name"})
name: string;

}

`

In Table Artikel the FK column to table kollektion is named ‘id_kollektion’ and not ‘artikel’. I tried to specify the different column as shown above by adding a ‘@Column(“int”, {name: “id_kollektion”})’ but when executing a persist I get the following error: ... executing query: START TRANSACTION executing query: INSERT INTO artikel(artikel_nummer, artikel_name, artikel_saison, id_kollektion, kollektion) VALUES ( ?,?,?,?,?) -- PARAMETERS: ["SNB-001","Snowboard WL","winter-2016",{"name":"Burton 2016"},null] executing query: INSERT INTO kollektion(kollektion_name) VALUES (?) -- PARAMETERS: ["Burton 2016"] query failed: INSERT INTO artikel(artikel_nummer, artikel_name, artikel_saison, id_kollektion, kollektion) VALUES (?,? ,?,?,?) -- PARAMETERS: ["SNB-001","Snowboard WL","winter-2016",{"name":"Burton 2016"},null] executing query: ROLLBACK Cannot save. Error: { Error: ER_BAD_FIELD_ERROR: Unknown column 'kollektion' in 'field list' ...

Seems that there is no support for specifying a custom column name. I think this would be a necessary feature for accessing existing database schemas.

there are other errors as well. Here is correct code:

@Table("artikel")
export class Artikel {

    @PrimaryColumn("int", { generated: true, name: "artikel_id" })
    id: number;

    @Column({ name: "artikel_nummer" })
    nummer: string;

    @Column({ name: "artikel_name" })
    name: string;

    @Column({ name: "artikel_extrabarcode" })
    extrabarcode: string;

    @Column({ name: "artikel_saison" })
    saison: string;

    @ManyToOne(type => Kollektion, { cascadeAll: true })
    @JoinColumn({ name: "id_kollektion" })
    kollektion: Kollektion;

}

@Table("kollektion")
export class Kollektion {

    @PrimaryColumn("int", { generated: true, name: "kollektion_id" })
    id: number;

    @Column({ name: "kollektion_name" })
    name: string;

}

Hi pleerock, Thank you for your corrections and hints. I will retest the issue and close it if it works as expected.
