Yes, that sounds like a bug. It looks like we misunderstood Dataobject's
automatic getters and setters. In some other ORMs, my_sql_field gets wrapped by
a clean getMySqlField() method, and that may have

us. Dataobject seems
to create a method named getMy_sql_field(). That's quite an odd name, but anyway
SDG should be compatible with it (we'll certainly retain BC with the current
behaviour though).

Please post a bug report at:

Strange name or not, if I have named my columns in the database
field_name, I would at first presume to use getField_name() to retrieve
it.
I rarely use _ in column-names now, but I'm working a bit with some old
data.
