Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Variables and column names in PL/SQL

Samer, thanks for pointing this out. An early aD style guide recommended the use of <proc_name>.variable_name.

I think we should just drop this coding style recommendation and move towards to variables with prefixes e g. v_ or m_. I agree that the aD style guide looks nicer and cleaner, but it is error-prone and it is next to impossible to track down these errors except with constant code review. And why not just avoid bugs that are hard to be tracked down - if it is so easily done?
