How about this: If you like to have singular named class names, the name of the class matches the name of the table and as a result can be automated. I.e. address.cfc matches the address table, contact.cfc matches the contact table and addendum.cfc matches the addendum table. If plural table names are used, there isn't consistency and as a result, class names must also be plural or there can be no automation between the class and the table. Granted it won't affect you if you don't automate that, but if I have a choice between doing something manually and automating it, I'll automate it (I get a lot more done that way), so I don't think it's a strawman argument at all. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://macromedia.breezecentral.com/p49777853/ http://www.sys-con.com/author/?id=4806 http://www.fusiontap.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
