Underscores, in my opinion are an ancient technique that is both hard to
type for the majority of use who are not really touch typists, and can cause
problems in some situations.

Instead, standardize on using Upper/Lower case.
StudentAddress is just as readable, and easier to type as well.

Subject: Single wildcard character



Hello everyone:

        Does anyone know if it's OK to use field names such
as:   student_address.  Does using the underscore which is
a single wild card character in R:BASE matter in field
names?
