<p>Use a <span class="bold">Basic Mapping</span> to map an attribute directly to a database column. In the <a href="getting_started006.htm#BABIDCBA">Tutorial Object Model</a>, the <span class="bold">firstName</span> field of the <span class="bold">Employee</span> class maps directly to the F_NAME column of the EMPLOYEE database table.</p>
<ol type="1" start="1">
<li>
<p>Select the <span class="bold">Employee</span> entity in the Package Explorer view.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>In the <a href="ref_persistence_outline.htm#BABEGGFE">JPA Structure view</a>, select the <span class="bold">firstName</span> field of the <span class="bold">Employee</span> entity. The <a href="ref_persistence_map_view.htm#BABIFBAF">JPA Details view (for attributes)</a> displays the properties for the field.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>In the <span class="gui-object-title">Map As</span> field, select <span class="gui-object-action">Basic</span>. In the Column field, select <span class="bold">F_NAME</span>.</p>

</ol>
<p>Dali adds the <code>@Column(name="F_NAME")</code> annotation to the entity. In the JPA Structure, the <span class="bold">firstName</span> field is identified as a basic mapping as shown in the following figure:</p>
