Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Do not use namespace qualification for PL/SQL variables

Andrew, I agree, using the function name to qualify a local variable is a useless idea, an idea that is pretty much solved by appending p_ to every passed in parameter, or in pg, aliasing the same way. And every locally declared variable gets appended with v_. The place to be verbose, if at all, in a variable name is in the meat of the name, not in some prefix. Of course what is clear to me might be confusing to someone else. So the debate may continue.
