Hi Mark, I would say yes: the datastore viewer shows the data with couples (name,value), name being the origianal attribute name in the java class.
Moreover the doc says "Each persistent field of the class represents a property of the entity, with the name of the property equal to the name of the field (with case preserved)." at http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/datastore/dataclasses.html#Class_and_Field_Annotations regards didier On Jul 19, 3:32 pm, Mark <mar...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I read in a post that the length of member variable names contributes > to the amount of storage space your app uses, example: > > class Farm { > private String mFarmersFavoriteCropToPlant; > } > > would take more space to store than: > > class Farm { > private String m; > } > > might not matter for a handful of instances, but if I have thousands > of records... is this true? > > Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine for Java" group.
