>I like single character datatype prefixes.
yeah - see - I really don't like the data type thing for fields - totally unecessary IMO for strong typed memory such as fields. I do use it, of course, for week typed cases like VFP variables.
I appreciate yor opinion. I am still debating on the "Table prefix" thing. The strongest arguments I still have for keeping it are:
1 - always know what table a field belongs to - no chance for confusion
2 - saves typing on joins since table refs/aliases are not needed
3 - no chance of stomping on reserved words
My only REAL concern is going against the "industry standard" grain, but interestingly, nobody has voiced an argument along that line.
Thanks!
