 === Configure Hibernate Naming Strategy
-Hibernate defines `Physical` and `Implicit` naming strategies. Spring Boot configures
-`SpringPhysicalNamingStrategy` by default. This implementation provides the same table
+Hibernate uses http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/5.2/userguide/html_single/Hibernate_User_Guide.html#naming[two different naming strategies]
+to map names in your object model to names in your database. Spring Boot provides properties for configuring
+these naming strategies:
+
+* `spring.jpa.hibernate.naming.physical-strategy`
+* `spring.jpa.hibernate.naming.implicit-strategy`
+
+The properties should be configured with the fully qualified class name of a strategy implementation.
+
+Spring Boot configures `SpringPhysicalNamingStrategy` by default. This implementation provides the same table
 structure as Hibernate 4: all dots are replaced by underscores and camel cases are
 replaced by underscores as well. By default, all table names are generated in lower case
 but it is possible to override that flag if your schema requires it.
