+# Schema and Table Name Handling
+
+This document explains how the handlers properly separate and handle schema and table names.
+
+## Implementation
+
+Both `resolvespec` and `restheadspec` handlers now properly handle schema and table name separation through the following functions:
+
+- `parseTableName(fullTableName)` - Splits "schema.table" into separate components
+- `getSchemaAndTable(defaultSchema, entity, model)` - Returns schema and table separately
+- `getTableName(schema, entity, model)` - Returns the full "schema.table" format
+
+## Priority Order
+
+When determining the schema and table name, the following priority is used:
+
+1. **If `TableName()` contains a schema** (e.g., "myschema.mytable"), that schema takes precedence
+2. **If model implements `SchemaProvider`**, use that schema
+3. **Otherwise**, use the `defaultSchema` parameter from the URL/request
+
+## Scenarios
+
+### Scenario 1: Simple table name, default schema
+```go
+type User struct {
+    ID   string
+    Name string
+}
+
+func (User) TableName() string {
+    return "users"
+}
+```
+- Request URL: `/api/public/users`
+- Result: `schema="public"`, `table="users"`, `fullName="public.users"`
+
+### Scenario 2: Table name includes schema
+```go
+type User struct {
+    ID   string
+    Name string
+}
+
+func (User) TableName() string {
+    return "auth.users"  // Schema included!
+}
+```
+- Request URL: `/api/public/users` (public is ignored)
+- Result: `schema="auth"`, `table="users"`, `fullName="auth.users"`
+- **Note**: The schema from `TableName()` takes precedence over the URL schema
+
+### Scenario 3: Using SchemaProvider
+```go
+type User struct {
+    ID   string
+    Name string
+}
+
+func (User) TableName() string {
+    return "users"
+}
+
+func (User) SchemaName() string {
+    return "auth"
+}
+```
+- Request URL: `/api/public/users` (public is ignored)
+- Result: `schema="auth"`, `table="users"`, `fullName="auth.users"`
+
+### Scenario 4: Table name includes schema AND SchemaProvider
+```go
+type User struct {
+    ID   string
+    Name string
+}
+
+func (User) TableName() string {
+    return "core.users"  // This wins!
+}
+
+func (User) SchemaName() string {
+    return "auth"  // This is ignored
+}
+```
+- Request URL: `/api/public/users`
+- Result: `schema="core"`, `table="users"`, `fullName="core.users"`
+- **Note**: Schema from `TableName()` takes highest precedence
+
+### Scenario 5: No providers at all
+```go
+type User struct {
+    ID   string
+    Name string
+}
+// No TableName() or SchemaName()
+```
+- Request URL: `/api/public/users`
+- Result: `schema="public"`, `table="users"`, `fullName="public.users"`
+- Uses URL schema and entity name
+
+## Key Features
+
+1. **Automatic detection**: The code automatically detects if `TableName()` includes a schema by checking for "."
+2. **Backward compatible**: Existing code continues to work
+3. **Flexible**: Supports multiple ways to specify schema and table
+4. **Debug logging**: Logs when schema is detected in `TableName()` for debugging
+
+## Code Locations
+
+### Handlers
+- `/pkg/resolvespec/handler.go:472-531`
+- `/pkg/restheadspec/handler.go:534-593`
+
+### Database Adapters
+- `/pkg/common/adapters/database/utils.go` - Shared `parseTableName()` function
+- `/pkg/common/adapters/database/bun.go` - Bun adapter with separated schema/table
+- `/pkg/common/adapters/database/gorm.go` - GORM adapter with separated schema/table
+
+## Adapter Implementation
+
+Both Bun and GORM adapters now properly separate schema and table name:
+
+```go
+// BunSelectQuery/GormSelectQuery now have separated fields:
+type BunSelectQuery struct {
+    query      *bun.SelectQuery
+    schema     string // Separated schema name
+    tableName  string // Just the table name, without schema
+    tableAlias string
+}
+```
+
+When `Model()` or `Table()` is called:
+1. The full table name (which may include schema) is parsed
+2. Schema and table name are stored separately
+3. When building joins, the already-separated table name is used directly
+
+This ensures consistent handling of schema-qualified table names throughout the codebase.

+// Package restheadspec provides the Rest Header Spec API framework.
+//
+// Rest Header Spec (restheadspec) is a RESTful API framework that reads query options,

+// data and metadata in API requests.
+//
+// # Key Features
+//
+//   - Header-based API configuration: All query options are passed via HTTP headers
+//   - Database-agnostic: Works with both GORM and Bun ORM through adapters
+//   - Router-agnostic: Supports multiple HTTP routers (Mux, BunRouter, etc.)
+//   - Advanced filtering: Supports complex filter operations (eq, gt, lt, like, between, etc.)

+//
+//	// Register models
+//	handler.Registry.RegisterModel("users", User{})
+//
+//	// Setup routes with Mux
+//	muxRouter := mux.NewRouter()
+//	restheadspec.SetupMuxRoutes(muxRouter, handler)
+//
+//	// Make a request with headers
+//	// GET /public/users
