Destination Improvement: Fine Control of Table/Column Normalization
Not plannedAs seen at https://fivetran.com/docs/getting-started/core-concepts#tableandcolumnnamingruleset , Fivetran performs several normalization processes for column and table names. Talking to support, we were told that it is possible to turn normalization off as a whole. We would ideally like to control individual features of the normalization. Specifically for our use case, we would like to maintain double underscores (allows us to copy queries from older systems) while making all of the other normalization changes.

Thanks for submitting your request! We are always interested in negotiating the tension between simplicity and configurability. This is not on our roadmap today, but it could be if we see sustained demand for this type of configuration. One thing that is on our roadmap is further investment in data transformations tools, which make it easier to implement naming conventions across your data once it is landed in the warehouse.
