Probably for the same reason people exceed 8.3 filename limitations on Windows or try to embed non-alphanumeric characters in file/directory names (Including spaces and shell special characters) -- they have been told that they could do so and not told of the problems and difficulties created by doing so.
I cannot fathom why one would use underscores either. In both cases the only rational explanation I can come up with as that these folks are "users" or "coders" and not "programmers" ... --- Theory is when you know everything but nothing works. Practice is when everything works but no one knows why. Sometimes theory and practice are combined: nothing works and no one knows why. >-----Original Message----- >From: sqlite-users-boun...@sqlite.org [mailto:sqlite-users- >boun...@sqlite.org] On Behalf Of Hick Gunter >Sent: Thursday, 22 January, 2015 01:39 >To: 'General Discussion of SQLite Database' >Subject: Re: [sqlite] System.Data.SQLite - Exception Calling >SQLiteModule.DeclareTable > >I have always wondered why people will insist on using human readable >column names (with embedded spaces and special characters) in the >implementation layer (SQL code) instead of the presentation layer (user >interface).
