in reply to Perl to protect database field name info

There are products out there that hide the database schema behind coded attributes but it makes things a real pain.

It may be OK in the provided tools but what if you now need to interface something else directly into the database? You now need to now and remember that t55995483 is Surname and t95854778 is Age and so on.

Much better to keep attribute and table names nice and clear. It may not be you who has to debug it in the future.
