Hello,
I disagree with the idea that "id" is a terrible name for a column. The
only negative to it, is that you will have to be explicit in your
declarations when doing joins and such... ex:
SELECT * FROM foo
JOIN bar on (foo.id = bar.id)
Personally I would rather see, and write that then:
SELECT * FROM foo
JOIN bar on (foo_id = bar_id)
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
