This property is required if a model is not associated to a custom class but instead is a direct instance of "PorteRecord".

Property "table"

This property define the name of the table associated to a given record. For exemple, a class named "User" may have a table named "Users".

By default, if the "table" property is not defined, the table name is derived from the "type" property with a plural and camel case transformation.

Property "primary_key"

If the primary key is not defined in the fields model, it is automatically added with a "type" equals to "int" and a "length" equals to "11".
