Thanks for the tip, Charles. I am checking it out. Yes, if we go with
longer names, then we'll use system names for both tables and columns with
more than 10 characters in the name.

Get a copy of this book, Joe Celko's "SQL Programming Style".

Note that for IBM i, current best practice would be to assign a long SQL
