Appending '_id' to references helps to keep names different so clashes like the one above don't happen, while at the same time they make the program more readable for the developer, specially at a later time.
But conventions are a matter of personal preference so you can follow whichever one you prefer. Personally I like shorter names so I would have used something like co_id and app_id, or even coid and appid, which are easier to type. >From my experience: - try to keep all names unique - in particular never have fields names equal to table names - don't be too cryptic with the name, you will regret it later web2py eases the creation of web apps but there still a lot of things to remember and learn. A checklist or tip list would be helpful. What do others use? please share your tips and tricks. Denes. -- Subscription settings: http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/subscribe?hl=en
