Quite. A book shelf is analogous to a database table. If you were to label that book shelf, would you label it "book"? I have a drawer on my tool box for screws, and it's labelled "screws", because that's what it's expected to contain. However, I don't change that label when I only have one screw. Smile

EDIT: I guess it comes down to whether you see the table itself as an object, or a container for a collection of objects.
