That explains a lot! The only time I let types intrude on names is with booleans, which I try to name with a state-of-being verb, such as "has_paid", "is_member", "has_children", etc. > On Thu, Aug 4, 2011 at 9:41 AM, Mike Diehl wrote: > >> Well, while we're on the subject of SQL style, can anyone tell me why I'm >> always seeing people prefixing the name of a table with something like >> "tbl?" You can't do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth. -- H. L.

Yeah, but why perpetuate such a thing in a language that has type (at least 'table' is distinct)?
