Database naming conventions

[quote author="jedd" date="1242404778"]Alas, the language has lots of idiosyncrasies, and it's easy to identify any number that substantiate your particular POV on the day. I was thinking about this earlier today, as I got some socks from my sock drawer, and then grabbing a few coins from our coin bowl on the way out.[/quote]

Code:

sock drawer == drawer of socks && coin bowl == bowl of coins

After reading this thread I do understand now the use of singular table names. I agree it comes down to how you view a database. Seeing things like `user.salary` does indeed make sense to me.

I hope though, for your sake Jedd, that you don't use the word 'Alas' in speech but only in text. I don't think your über intelligence will be taken as such. Rather, you will appear to be a time traveler from the 18th century. But then, maybe you ARE a time traveler from the 18th century. ;-P
