Re: Archaic Table Names. Frowned upon Synonyms

[Quoted] You poor soul! I couldn't imagine having to deal with such cryptic names, it makes everything from maintenance to upgrading a nightmare.

Here are just a few reasons off the top of my head why archaic names are terrible:

1. New employees can remember the english names easier and faster.
2. Maintenance becomes a nightmare, trying to keep all these names straight in your head
3. Totally makes an audit of the institution more difficult by regulating bodies
4. Total non-compliance with ISO-9000 standards
5. Technological step backwards

That's is just a few reasons, besides the fact that it is totally asthetically offensive!

Geez! Mark
