I regard the table names of blogexample as a convention.

I think I wasn't precise enough.

The problem here is not the name of an Extbase MM table, but the max
lenght of 30 in the 'tablenames' column of _any_ existing MM table. The
data in this column is the table name of an entity, for example
'tx_blogexample_domain_model_tag', which would be too long in this case
(31 characters).

@Steffen
I'm not familiar with the DBAL stuff because it's an untouchable
blackbox for me. How could DBAL help here? Using internal table alias?
Please bring in some lights.
