Fine, make the case whatever you want. And I never said "thou shalt name all 
thy tables this way, or thou art a lout". I suggested it as a way to make sure 
that the fields didn't conflict with any reserved words in any databases. If 
you don't care about things working with any database other than mysql, it's a 
non-issue.

Without some consistency, PEAR is simply not going to be as useful as it could 
be. I realize I'm probably pissing a lot of people off by harping about it, but 
I feel that someone needs to do it. If it means y'all come to loathe me 
personally, so be it. If you understand that I'm just doing it to try and keep 
this thing semi-coherent so that users won't be tripped up by things working 
differently for no apparent reason, all the better. It's nothing personal on my 
part.

Why not both? Having them in the doc comments means that they'll show up in the 
online docs whenever we get our act together and have a browsable PEAR 
documentation tree up, which is a good thing. But I agree that having .sql 
files for easy use in table creation would be a good thing.
