Hi louie,
You give a name(_name) odoo create a table with this name.

That is "openacademy.course" is a table name. If you are going to create your own module and you need to create a new table then give that table name in the python code.

like:

_name = 'openacademy.course'

For more please refer :

This doc will understand to know more about the odoo structure.

so that means. anything you can put it. its not referring to the folder or something?? so i can rename it anything what you want right?? thanks in advance

Nikhil Krishnan

if you change any default odoo codes or tables name, then it may damage in your odoo application. so please make study well about it and you can create your own addons.

hi thanks for rply. im referring only to this class

Course(models.Model):

_name = 'openacademy.course'

instead of that i will rename _name = 'nameoftable.coruse' im correct?

Nikhil Krishnan

yes, it's fine. but you need to change over all the module from ""openacademy.course"" to ""ameoftable.coruse"" .
