### Constants
The models package will also contain some structs that contain all of the table and column
names harvested from the database at generation time.
For table names they're generated under `models.TableNames`:
```go
// Generated code from models package
var TableNames = struct {
Messages string
Purchases string
}{
Messages: "messages",
Purchases: "purchases",
}
// Usage example:
fmt.Println(models.TableNames.Messages)
```
```go
// Generated code from models package
var MessageColumns = struct {
ID string
PurchaseID string
}{
ID: "id",
PurchaseID: "purchase_id",
}
// Usage example:
fmt.Println(models.MessageColumns.ID)
```
