I have experience with a number of server side scripting technologies, just
have never really done any PHP. Thanks all for the info!

<tip type="SQL Naming Conventions" author="Jay Blanchard">
In this day and age do yourself, and eveyone else who has to work with your
database structures a favor when naming tables, columns, stored procedures,
triggers, and the like. Make them meaningful without writing a lengthy
description. "tblProducts" is fairly self-explanatory, "sp802" is not.
"tblProductsWeSellToFools" is too long (although well explained). Decide on
and use prefixes for each object so as to clue the user of that information
in. Don't (some databases will not allow this, so it's no big deal, but for
the ones that do...) use the same name on multiple objects like
"tblCustomer" and "tgrCustomer"..it can be confusing.
