remember that the value "30" is set from kickstarter, feel free to 
change it.

DBAL has a feature for mapping tablenames. It works like this:

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['EXTCONF']['dbal']['mapping'] = array(
     'tx_myextension_domain_model_mytablename_relations_mm' => array(
         ’mapTableName’ => ’tx_myext_shortmm’,
     ),
);

for sure the real tablename is tx_myext_shortmm then, but you can use 
the long one to call this.
