:-) Well, that was hyperbole, but people have proposed some pretty wacky schemes, and a few of those have ended up in the tree. For example we have AtEOXact_PgStat and its close friend AtEOXact_on_commit_actions, for instance, or out_gistxlogDelete, or IncrementVarSublevelsUp_rtable, or convert_EXISTS_sublink_to_join. I confess haven't managed to find any plausible examples of underscores in the middle of a word yet, and we only have a handful of examples of double-underscore and none with triple-underscore, but we've got nearly every combination of lower-case words, upper-case words, initial-capital words, underscores separating words or not, and words abbreviated or not, and it's not hard to find cases where several different styles are used in the same identifier. This isn't the end of the world or anything, but I think we would be better off if we tried to do less of it. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
