I am more or less an eaves dropper on drizzle-discuss as an interested web developer. I did want to at least chime in on this topic. From my experience writing small-time web apps and tinkering with SQL, I would prefer having file names somewhat similar to the table name. This would be helpful if I wanted to do some digging in the *nix shell to determine table filesize names. Doing an "ls -l" on the database directory would be more difficult to decipher with random characters. Aside
