Perry,

What was/is the reason for one letter alsias requirement in Oracle? There isn't such requirement for SQL Server.

>I know Mark does a lot with Oracle. I assume he's experienced what I did. When I worked with Oracle, it was required of me to use short, if not 1 char, aliases. I haven't worked enough with folks in a big SQL Server shop to see if they do the same.

>>Aliasing tableas to one letter names is the same bad idea as usindg one letter variables. It makes code unreadable and hard to maintain.
