4. Resolve ambiguous names as query column, but throw warning
#4 would be my vote, followed by #3. To be perfectly honest, I'd be a
whole lot happier with a pl/pgsql that let me prefix variable names with
a '$' or similar to get away from this whole nonsense. I've been very
tempted to tell everyone I work with to start prefixing their variables
names with '_' except that it ends up looking just plain ugly.
Thanks,
