[Gusdev-gusdev] GUS: unique table names

[Steve F. <sfi...@pc...>]

folks-

i think that we should consider a rule about GUS table names:

   "table names are unique across schema spaces"

there are pros and cons here.

pros:
   - this way, in our object layer, we can have simpler accessor names, 
such as getGene().   Otherwise, we need to have getDoTSGene() (yuck)
   - this may help us port, if we need to, to systems which don't 
support schema spaces

cons:
   - the obvious one:  schema spaces are no longer truly modular.  the 
must be aware of other schema spaces that are or *might be* used in the 
same system.

Comments???

Which do people see as the lesser of the two evils?
