I had a similar guess along somewhat the same lines - mine being that if you wanted to write a simple query to pick up just the meta data tables, they did not perhaps want any metadata tables to begin with T, H and B.. but then the reason I have might not necessarily be the right reason as there is a metadata table HGCONTROL which should have been also renamed if that was the reason.

Table name in 7.6.03 Table name in 8.1.2 TASK ARTASK TASK_CHECKPOINT ARTASK_CHECKPOINT TASK_CHECKPOINT_OBJ ARTASK_CHECKPOINT_OBJ Any idea what was the reason behind this name change? I do not or am not facing a problem really as a result of this - I was just on the process of "inventorying" all the tables in the ARSYSTEM tablespace on a system I am currently working on for the purpose of designing a custom backup script and noticed this name change when comparing a 7.6.04 system with a 8.1.2 system.
