Re: Does the recommendation against variable names starting with SQL apply to constants?

David,

I'd be interested to know what was eventually chosen as a more meaningful
name than xC0.

Either x'C0' has 'meaning' in the context of the application, so the
constant could be called e.g. HAS_SUB_ACCOUNTS (or whatever), or it's simply
a single byte value. If the latter, is anything gained by giving it a
constant value instead of simply using x'C0'? I *guess* you could call it
HEX_C0, but that isn't much better than xC0 (IMHO, of course!).

Rory

p.s. I see Scott and Eric have already asked this... I'm always so late to
the game :(
