You already can as odb::object_traits<MyClass>::table_name (it derives
from *_impl). While it is not documented, you can rely on it, I don't
think we will already call it anything else or remove it.

Again, I believe you can already access it like this:

odb::object_traits<MyClass>::info.discriminator
