#248 Conflicting suggestions for appending variable names

[Scott]

From the Jameleon User's Guide Version 0.6 (PDF file), it states "...To avoid this potential problem, ensure that all context variables have a
unique name. One method of ensuring that the variable names are unique is to add a _c to the end of values stored in a CSV file and a _d to values that are stored in a database.

Under the "Using Data" section on this webpage: http://jameleon.sourceforge.net/dataDriving.html, it states "...This is why it is best to keep the variable names distinct. One trick that I use is to end all variable names read in from different datasources with different letters. For example, variables defined in a CSV file end in _c, variables defined from a database end in an _s and variables defined in properties files have no special ending."

To summarize, the User's Guide is suggesting appending a _d to the variables that get their values for a database and the information from the webpage suggested append a _s.
