Wow! Hot topic... I don't know what the big deal is though. I like spaces in table names, column names, wherever...

  JUST KIDDING!!! 

I think a "best practices" option should be added to YUKON so default naming conventions can be enforced. For example, pattern match object names.

 No! Please don't ask for more Yukon features!! We have waited long enough already!!!

I blame the practice on Access database users. Access allows this practice and then if the Access database has to be moved to SQL Server, those tasked with the move get bitten.

That would explain that horrible SQL Server sample database NorthWind... AARGH!!

Aaaah... fun with formatting and smileys. Can you tell it's Friday?!
