disagree

the concept is of sets of things

the set of employees, the set of jobs...

thus,   select ... from employees


casey, a more important rule than using plural names for tables is NOT to
embed the "type of the thing" into the name of the thing

for example, do not say  tblEmployees  or  colFirstname
