We will need to redefine the table it is mapped to.

#ifneko
import neko.db.Object;
import neko.db.Manager;
#end

#ifphp
import php.db.Object;
import php.db.Manager;
#end
class Post extends Object
{
   public var id : Int;
   public var title : String;
   public var body : String;
   public var postedOn : Date;
   public var fk_author : Int;
   
   public var author(dynamic, dynamic) : hxBlog.User;
   
   static function RELATIONS()
   {
      return [{prop: "author", key: "fk_author", manager: User.manager}];
   }
   
   static var TABLE_NAME = "Posts";
   public static var manager = new Manager<Post>(Post);
