By default, the lower case of the DB table representation will be used as the table name unless another name is explicitly
specified. In this case, Exposed will assume the `StarWarsFilms` stores records in the `starwarsfilms` table.

table name by calling the `Table` constructor with the correct name as argument:
```kotlin
object StarWarsFilms : Table("star_wars_films") {
val id: Column<Int> = integer("id").autoIncrement()
val sequelId: Column<Int> = integer("sequel_id").uniqueIndex()
val name: Column<String> = varchar("name", 50)
val director: Column<String> = varchar("director", 50)
override val primaryKey = PrimaryKey(id, name = "PK_StarWarsFilms_Id") // PK_StarWarsFilms_Id is optional here
}
