# New Entity Classes from Database Wizard: Mapping Options

In this page of the wizard you can set options for configuring generated annotation elements.

Element | Description
--- | ---
Association Fetch | Select the fetch element to add to the relationship annotations. You can select default, eager or lazy. When default is selected (default is selected by default), no fetch element is added to the relationship annotations.
Collection Type | Select the collection type for OneToMany and ManyToMany CMR fields. You can select `java.util.Collection`, `java.util.List` or `java.util.Set`. `java.util.Collection` is selected by default.
Fully Qualified Database Table Names | When selected, catalog and schema elements are added to the `@Table` annotation. This option is deselected by default.
Attributes for Regenerating Database Tables | When selected, `nullable` (when it is false), `length` (for String type), `precision` and `scale` (for decimal type) are added to the `@Column` annotation. Unique constraints are also added to the `@Table` annotation when selected. This option is deselected by default..
Use Column Names in Relationships | When selected, when a table references a foreign key, the field name is generated according to the name of the column in the table. For example, if the table `customer` has a column named `zip` that is mapped to a column named `zip_code` in table `micromarket`, the generated field name will be `zip`. This option is selected by default. When this option is deselected, the field name is generated according to the name of the table that contains the foreign key. In the example above, the generated field name will be `microMarket`.
Use Defaults if Possible | When selected, only annotations that modify the default behavior or attributes will be generated. Selecting this option can reduce the number of unnecessary annotations that are generated. This option is deselected by default.
Generate Fields for Unresolved Relationships | When selected, basic generic fields are generated for the fields in a relationship that reference fields or entities that are missing or cannot be resolved. The basic fields that are generated might not accurately represent the columns in the tables because of the missing data. When deselected, fields in a relationship are not generated if any of the fields or entities in the relationship are missing. This option is deselected by default.
