   By default idType is int so you don't need it. But you can do it if
you want to be extra explicit.

   Please remove anything that's not related to your question. Too much
information could be worse than too little.

   'name' in SQLObject is a pythonic name of column; if you want to
provide a database name it's called 'dbName':

class User(sqlobject.SQLObject):

    class sqlmeta:
        table  = 'tbl_user'
        idName = 'user_id'

    user_section = sqlobject.ForeignKey('Section', dbName='user_section')

   Also you have to know that translation from names to dbName's is
performed by an instance of Style. See styles.py and
tests/test_style.py. If you don't want to submit to default SQLObject
style (which, among other things, adds '_id' to ForeignKey's) and don't
want to provide dbName for every column you can create your own Style
and override the default.
